## Resource

Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger predicts a major shake-up in the short-term rental market as new hotels flood the scene, threatening Airbnb’s dominance. With hundreds of new hotel rooms—like the upcoming Sheraton with 240 rooms—set to open, demand for vacation rentals will likely drop, pushing some properties back into the permanent housing market. Mauger believes the market will self-correct as hotel competition drives down prices and erodes Airbnb’s profit margins, especially after years of premium pricing during events. He’s hopeful this shift will ease housing pressure by returning properties to long-term residents. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
