According to Thomas Hinton of Statista, European Commission study found that 35% of respondents believe short-term rentals (STRs) positively impact their neighborhoods, while only 12% see a negative effect. Most positive perceptions are financial—nearly 60% say STRs provide hosts with extra income, and over half believe they make travel more affordable.
While STRs benefit tourism and local economies, they can also raise concerns about housing availability, noise, and community stability. In high-demand areas, rising rental prices and limited housing stock can make it harder for long-term residents to find homes.
If you’re considering buying, selling, or investing in a home, understanding the impact of STRs on your community is crucial. Investing in a property for short-term rentals can be a great way to generate passive income, especially in sought-after locations like Southeast Florida.
