Is Short-Term Letting the Future of Real Estate?

The property market has changed, and it’s still evolving. In recent years, short-term letting has moved from niche to mainstream, attracting everyone from savvy investors to travelling professionals and remote workers.

At Location Home, we believe short-term rentals are more than just a trend, they’re a key part of the future of real estate.

Why the Shift?

Several factors have driven the rise of short-lets:

• Flexibility for both landlords and guests
• Growth in remote work and “work from anywhere” lifestyles
• Higher returns compared to traditional long-term renting
• Increased demand for travel experiences that feel like home

In short, people want more freedom, and they expect the spaces they live or stay in to reflect that.

Benefits for Landlords

Short-term letting offers a host of advantages, including:

• Increased earning potential through dynamic pricing
• Greater control over availability and usage
• Ability to use the property personally when needed
• Opportunity to create a high-end, hotel-style experience that commands better rates

With the right management, landlords can turn their property into a profitable, flexible asset, without sacrificing long-term stability.

The Role of Professional Management

Of course, success in the short-let market depends on more than just listing your property online. From guest support and property upkeep to branding and pricing, the market now expects hotel-level service.

That’s where we come in. At Location Home, we deliver a fully managed experience, one that’s tailored to your goals and built around consistent, 5-star standards.

The Future is Flexible

The demand for short-term, high-quality rentals is only growing, not just in cities, but across suburbs, coastal towns and countryside escapes. With flexibility, freedom, and higher returns, short-lets are fast becoming a cornerstone of modern real estate.
