Kate built one of her Arizona market’s most distinctive portfolios, and in October 2025 she handed pricing to Foundry.
How we measure this
Kate added seven high-yielding homes during the comparison window. To show what pricing did on its own, this case study compares only the nine homes that earned revenue throughout the baseline period: the same houses, one year apart. The whole-portfolio number is below, and it shows what pricing and expansion produced together.
What we did
- Rebuilt minimum-stay rules to protect the four and five night bookings that carry this market in February and March
- Market-responsive rate adjustments through a cooling metro market
- Occupancy pacing tuned around her portfolio’s event calendar
Results, same homes only
Comparing the same ten calendar months a year apart, October through July, the same nine homes went from $686K to $727K, up 6%, in a market where holding flat was the norm.
The sharper story is the market gap. Those homes ran 14% above their market before Foundry. Now they run 22% above it.
- From 14% above market to 22% above market on identical homes
- Same-home revenue up 6% while the market cooled
- Portfolio grew from 14 to 21 listings alongside
The whole portfolio
Kate grew from 14 to 21 homes during this comparison, and every new home came onto the same pricing system from day one. Including all of them, portfolio revenue went from $702K to $1.5M across the same ten-month windows.
Kate brought the homes and the owner relationships. Because pricing was already handled, none of them spent a season finding their rate. They earned like the homes above from their first booking, and Kate never had to stop and reprice while she grew.
Where they are now
The last week of March 2026 was the portfolio’s biggest revenue week of all time. Kate keeps adding homes, including a five-bedroom from an owner whose first two listings we already price.
“This is usually the time of year where I start to panic. I don’t panic as much when I’m just waiting on you.”
