From the transcript
But I have put it on my calendar, um, to check RentalScape now earlier in the summer. That said, when we compare our September numbers, there doesn't appear to be a significant change. We identified 169 short-term rentals in September of 2025 compared to the 165 in September of 2026. Based on what we've seen over the 3 years we've been tracking it, the overall numbers appear to have, um, remained fairly consistent. Overall, RentalScape has made the initial search much more efficient.
