Mid-Term Rentals Are Gaining Traction in 2025
Mid-term rentals (MTRs), defined as 30 to 90+ day bookings, have grown by 94 percent over the past year. With an average stay of 55 days, these rentals provide greater income stability and operational efficiency.
Mortgage Rates Drop Again – What It Means for You & Your Clients
Mortgage rates hit 6.67%, the lowest since April. The 15-year fixed rate? Just 5.80%. Lower borrowing costs = better financing terms = stronger ROI for your investor clients.
Implications for Realtors
- This is an ideal opportunity to re-engage buyers who were previously hesitant.
- Use this trend as a strategic talking point for short-term and mid-term rental investments.
Data shows that short-term rental occupancy in Miami has increased by 22 percent year-over-year, highlighting robust market demand. Realtors can use this data point to reinforce investment potential during property tours or consultations.
Key Advantages of MTRs for Investors:
- Reduced turnover and lower operational costs.
- Fewer regulatory restrictions compared to traditional STRs.
- Strong appeal to professionals, students, and remote workers.
- Effective even for smaller units like one- or two-bedroom properties.
For Realtors: Understanding and promoting MTRs positions you as a well-informed advisor offering diversified investment strategies to clients.
