Should I Watch the Market When Selling a Hotel?

If you’re going to be selling a hotel, you may want to take a look at what the market is doing. Knowing what’s going on in the market can help you in a variety of ways. Today in the Southeast International Hotel Brokers blog, our team breaks down the advantages of forecasting the market, and what you should be looking for.

Is Forecasting the Market Worthwhile?

When selling a hotel, we believe that it’s worthwhile to take a look at the market and see where it’s heading, but it’s never the only factor that determines whether or not a hotel will sell. It’s important to not get too focused on forecasting the market when your energy could be better spent elsewhere, such as marketing your hotel and getting the listings up and running. That being said, there are a few things you can watch for that might help you determine a strategy when selling a hotel.

What Should I Be Watching For?

The primary thing you’ll probably want to look at is the type of market you’re currently in, and which way that market is going if you plan on selling a hotel in the future. Determining if you’re in a buyer, seller, or balanced market helps you decide how aggressively to employ your strategy and could help you determine how quickly your hotel might sell. This allows you to plan a little bit and have contingencies in place. That being said, the markets aren’t always extremely easy to predict, and even if a market is acting a certain way, it doesn’t mean it will affect your sale. In general, it’s good to have an idea of what kind of market you’re in, but it’s not completely integral to selling a hotel at any given time.
