The Differences Between B&B’s & Airbnb’s Airbnb.com has co-opted the name and concept of a Bed & Breakfast (B&B). The terms Airbnb and B&B are being used interchangeably by guests, but there is a difference. • An official Bed & Breakfast is a regulated small inn, subject to state or local lodging laws. Think of it as a boutique hotel with personalizing extras. Those extras include a full breakfast, often a unique setting, and the presence of an attentive host. Picture a Bed & Breakfast Inn at a rural British farm or in New Orleans’ French Quarter. • By contrast, Airbnb is a lightly regulated home-sharing app that lets anyone list accommodations for rent. Often a high cleaning fee is added, especially in light of rules requiring extra COVID-19 cleaning. Although the second ‘b’ in Airbnb should be “breakfast,” often breakfast is not included or is limited to a few granola bars. A host is often not present. Some Airbnb’s are, in fact, traditional B&B’s that now list themselves on the Airbnb platform. However, most Airbnb listings are not true B&B’s. If you want a traditional Bed & Breakfast experience, then do a Google search for “charming bed and breakfast in (location)”. Also, some Airbnb hosts pride themselves on acting similar to traditional B&B’s, so read the reviews and notes to see offers.
Are You Nervous About Selling Your House Right Now? If you are, you’re not alone. Home values may be sky-high, but to sell and move, you need to find a place to live. You need to hunt for a rental or a home to purchase in a world where those things are more scarce and expensive due to COVID. Because it’s challenging, many people who want to sell don’t do it, which creates even less housing inventory, which then drives prices further. It’s a classic “vicious cycle.”
It’s Never Too Early To Plan Ahead
But there are ways to break out of the cycle. The trick is to secure your next place first, before putting your current home on the market. If you’d like to sell, the first step is to get information. Contact me to have a candid conversation about your home’s value, what you need to do to prepare, and how to time the whole process correctly.
