Troy carries 33 active short-term rental listings inside a catchment that reaches far beyond the city itself: about 5.4 million people within an hour, 10.1 million within two hours, and 17.5 million within three, anchored by Detroit. ROAM's market score here is 91, exceptional tier, with an 11.68% gross yield, 5.6 points above Michigan's statewide 6.1%. Typical home value (Zillow index) runs about $365,000.
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 $42,689 a year, the top quartile at about $55,723, and the top tenth at about $74,278. ROAM applies dynamic pricing, multi-channel distribution, and professional operations to full-service vacation rental management in Troy.
No permit is required to operate in Troy; general zoning and nuisance codes apply under Building & Code Enforcement, alongside the state's 6% use tax on stays under 30 days.

Best Times to Rent Your Troy Vacation Property
Troy's short-term rental revenue peaks in July and bottoms out in February, with July revenue running about 2.14 times February's — a real swing to plan around. Pricing that doesn't adjust for season risks running too high through the winter trough and too low across peak summer demand, so the shoulder months in between call for their own rates. ROAM's approach adjusts pricing across the calendar to match these seasonal shifts.
