Washington, DC November 07, 2024 –( PR.com )– Great Dwellings, a large, DC Short-Term Rental (STR) management firm released their cancellation and re-booking data for Inauguration Day rental stays resulting from the election win by Donald Trump.
“100% of our properties were booked for the inauguration. Starting early Wednesday morning when the election was called for Trump. Over the next 24 hours, 57% of Inauguration reservations cancelled, indicating prior optimism over the chances of a Harris Win exceeded the vote tally. That 57% compares to Harris’ 49.5% (Associated Press) share of the popular vote,” according to Great Dwellings’ President, Jon Rosen
“Since then, more than a third of the cancelled reservations have already re-booked, by Trump supporters excited to witness the event on January 20. We expect to quickly book full for Inauguration.”
Each Inauguration year, the company’s short-term rentals book full for the event. Many that book short term rentals are often groups of two or more, looking for both a place to stay and to celebrate. Nightly rates are 3x or higher the rates of those same dates in non-Inauguration years. Reservations are made by supporters of both major candidates; betting theirs will win and hoping to watch the ceremony and celebrate. A smaller few wish to see the historic event regardless of the winning candidate. When the number of bookings/cancellations reflect different numbers than the polls, we attribute that to a difference in confidence levels, or a feeling of greater historical significance attributed to one candidate versus the other.
