Luke Carl sits down with Kelsey to break down what’s really happening right now in the Crystal Beach and Galveston short term rental markets. They discuss why inventory is so high, how pricing has effectively rolled back to pre-2022 levels, and why today’s conditions strongly favor patient, well-informed buyers who are willing to negotiate. The conversation also digs into what types of homes are still performing well on the rental side, how amenities and size drive revenue, and what realistic offer strategies look like in a market flooded with options.
