Market-wide averages across every listing — most of them self-managed by owner-operators, without professional pricing or multi-channel distribution — put the average listing at about $34,600 a year, the top quartile at about $47,600, and the top tenth at about $63,700.

Best Times to Rent Your Sherman Township Vacation Property
Sherman Township's short-term rental revenue peaks in July and drops to its lowest point in February. July revenue runs about 2.33 times February's revenue, the market's own peak-to-trough revenue ratio. That is a real difference for owners to plan around: the same property can bring in noticeably more in July than it does in February, based on revenue alone rather than occupancy or nightly rate individually. ROAM's approach applies dynamic pricing across the calendar.
