This is a work in progress. 🙂 May 2, 2026: Yesterday I noticed that the latest data was not being imported automagically unless I went into my site install and republished the page. Not sure what that's about yet, but will try to keep it up to date until I figure it out. Have not made any changes to the page in several months before this!
Latest Notes
- 2026.02.26 Note that some sites do not always update their listings once they are booked. This seems to be the case with the ones that have more static pages like VacationClubLife. Just pointing this out to say that my database includes whatever info they post online. Sometimes they make errors, and sometimes they leave old listings up. So, always triple check with the site on details when booking!
- Median Update! (2/13/2026) Since I archived the 2023 data a few weeks ago, I just got around to crunching the current medians. Nothing too shocking, but for those nerdy enough to notice many monthly medians (say that 3x fast!) changed. Most were small, a couple by a few dozen $, but I’m still analyzing that in my brain.Â
- Price vs Median filter: Not a fan of how the filters work using this new system when I want users to be able to select an amount and have it filter anything <= to that selection. Hopefully I can find a better way to implement this filter, but for now I’ve set it up to use a slider.
Also: for comparison in the Price vs Median column I have now changed from using an “overall” median crunched using ALL historical listings for a particular Resort and Room Type combo to using a “monthly” median. The monthly median value is calculated using only historical listings for that room that also started in the same month as the current listing. While still not a perfect comparison because points calendars do bleed across months, I believe it should still be a fairly decent indicator on how a listing compares in that time frame and definitely better than comparing to the overall median.
- Pro Tip: This particular column filter is a percentage, so, for example: if you want to see all listings that were at least 10% under median price, slide the right circle on the slider to the left until it says -10. (Again, not a great fan of the slider, but for now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)
- The Open button colors are a crime against humanity and eyeballs everywhere. However, no matter what setting I try in the theme, plugin or try to override with custom css it continues on destroying retinas as we speak. I pray that I shall find a workaround soon.
