The Impact of Antecedents on Airbnb Listing Prices: Evidence from Greece

The study investigates varied effects that price antecedents have on Airbnb listings. Using data on 31705 listings from four major Greek regions (Athens, Thessaloniki, Crete, and the South Aegean), which appeared on Airbnb in December 2022 and were recorded by Inside Airbnb, the authors apply statistical tests and regression analysis to identify key pricing determinants. The results confirm the existence of evident differences in prices depending on external variables, such as the listing’s region, and internal listing qualities and host attributes. The findings offer valuable insights that individual hosts, professional listing administrators, and policymakers can use to adjust pricing strategies and regulations to changes taking place in the dynamic Airbnb market in Greece.
