For years, the biggest uncertainty in the STR market has been regulation. Many cities initially responded to the rise of short-term rentals with reactive restrictions, but in 2025, we’re seeing a more balanced, long-term approach.
Instead of outright bans, many markets are implementing structured licensing, reasonable tax policies, and clear operational guidelines that provide property owners with stability and predictability. This shift is making STRs a more secure investment, as owners can now plan with confidence rather than navigating ever-changing legal landscapes.
