The Market

Why Green Bay is One of the World's Premier STR Markets

Green Bay is the oldest settlement in Wisconsin and the smallest city in the United States with a major professional sports franchise, and the second fact overwhelms the first in almost every conversation about it. The Packers have played here since 1919 and at Lambeau Field since 1957, and the club is the only community-owned, non-profit team in American major league sport: it has hundreds of thousands of shareholders, no owner, and a charter that means it cannot be moved. On a home game weekend a city of a hundred thousand people absorbs a crowd approaching eighty thousand, and every bed within an hour is spoken for. The stadium is not out by a motorway either, it sits in a residential neighbourhood, so people park on lawns and grill in driveways and the whole district becomes something between a festival and a street party. Away from the football, Green Bay is a working port city on the Fox River with a good railroad museum, an amusement park where the rides famously cost almost nothing, a wildlife sanctuary, and Door County an hour up the peninsula. But an owner needs to be honest about what the business actually is: this is a market where roughly ten dates a year do the heavy lifting.

Wisconsin sets the outer frame with Statute 66.1014, the right-to-rent law passed in 2017, which prevents municipalities from banning rentals of seven consecutive days or longer while leaving them full authority over permits, inspections, taxes and enforcement. Anyone renting more than ten nights a year also needs a tourist rooming house licence from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Green Bay layers its own requirements on top through Municipal Code section 44-1580(j), administered by the Community and Economic Development Department, defining a short-term rental as a dwelling let to transient guests for fewer than twenty-eight consecutive days. The application asks for proof of registration with the City Treasurer for Brown County room tax, proof of registration with Brown County Public Health together with a completed initial health inspection reported at $492, and a sample lease agreement confirming guests must comply with parking, noise and other city ordinances. Renewal is reported at $250 if filed on time and $500 if late. Every permitted rental must designate a local representative who lives or works within thirty minutes of the property and can respond to problems there. The room tax rate in Green Bay is 10%, higher than the 8% applying in some surrounding municipalities, and Wisconsin sales tax applies as well.

Why Cavmir

The Cavmir Advantage
in Green Bay

Cavmir markets Green Bay properties around the calendar rather than the house, because in this market the calendar is the asset. The NFL schedule is released in the spring, and from that moment the ten most valuable dates of your year are public knowledge. Most owners here react to them; the good ones have their rates, minimum stays and marketing set within days. We do that work, and we write copy for the guest who is actually coming, which is a group of friends or a family making a pilgrimage, often from several states away, frequently for a birthday or an anniversary, and almost always caring far more about the walk to Lambeau and where to park than about the finish on the worktops. We photograph the property with the neighbourhood in it. We build a direct booking site so that the group who came for a December game can book next season without going through a marketplace, which matters enormously in a market where the same people return year after year. And we build the other business too, because a property that only earns on ten Sundays is a poor investment: Door County overflow in summer, the Fox River trail, corporate and medical travel, and Titletown events all fill weeks that would otherwise sit empty. We help position and market your property. We never manage it or touch your keys.

State of the Industry · History

The Green Bay STR Market — Past & Present

Green Bay is the oldest permanent settlement in Wisconsin, established as a French fur trading post at the mouth of the Fox River, which was the strategic route between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi system. It passed from French to British to American hands, became a lumber and shipping port, and grew into an industrial city built on paper mills, meatpacking and the harbour. Then in 1919 a former Notre Dame player named Curly Lambeau persuaded his employer, the Indian Packing Company, to fund equipment and let the team use its field, and the team took the name of the sponsor. The Packers survived the collapse of small-town professional football because of an arrangement that has no parallel in American sport: facing bankruptcy in the 1920s, the club sold shares to local residents, and it has remained a community-owned non-profit ever since, with hundreds of thousands of shareholders, no single owner, and articles that prevent relocation. That is why a city of a hundred thousand people still hosts a major league franchise while far larger cities have lost theirs. Lambeau Field opened in 1957 and sits in an ordinary residential neighbourhood rather than on a ring road. On 31 December 1967 it hosted the NFL Championship against Dallas at thirteen below zero with a wind chill far worse, a game that has been called the Ice Bowl ever since and that did more than anything else to fix this city's identity in the national imagination.

Pricing Strategy & Seasonality

Pricing, Seasonality & When to Capture ROI

Pricing Strategy

Green Bay's pricing problem is that the year is extremely lumpy and most owners price it as though it is not. Ten regular-season home dates, plus any playoff games, produce demand that exceeds the city's entire lodging supply, and those weekends should be priced accordingly with firm minimum stays; the NFL schedule is released in spring, which gives you months of notice to set them. A property that sits at its ordinary rate on a home game weekend is giving away the single largest revenue opportunity it has. Between those dates the market is a mid-sized midwestern city with business travel, medical travel, university dates and summer tourism, and it should be priced like one, competitively and with an eye on the extended-stay market rather than on holiday rates. The other significant demand source is Door County overflow: in July and August the peninsula an hour north fills and prices sharply, and Green Bay becomes the affordable base for people who could not get in up there. Almost nobody markets to them. Winter outside game weekends is genuinely quiet. The strategic mistake to avoid is building your whole business case on the football calendar, because ten dates cannot carry a property; the owners who do well here treat the game weekends as the profit and the rest of the year as the business.

Seasonality & ROI Windows

Driven by a schedule rather than a season. September through December carries the home games and the associated weekends, with late-season and any playoff dates the most valuable of all. Summer is steady on general tourism, Door County overflow and outdoor events. January through April is quiet apart from any playoff run. Weather is a genuine factor: late-season games in Green Bay are famously cold, which is part of the appeal for visiting fans and part of the operational reality for owners, and heavy snow affects travel and arrivals.

Regulation & Licensing · 2026

What the Law Requires in Green Bay

Wisconsin sets the frame and Green Bay fills it in. Wisconsin Statute 66.1014, the right-to-rent law enacted in 2017, prohibits municipalities from banning rentals of seven consecutive days or longer, while leaving them full authority over permits, inspections, taxes and enforcement. Separately, anyone who maintains, manages or operates a short-term rental for more than ten nights a year must obtain a tourist rooming house licence from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. Green Bay regulates under Municipal Code section 44-1580(j), administered by the Community and Economic Development Department, and defines a short-term rental as a residential dwelling unit provided to transient guests for compensation for fewer than twenty-eight consecutive days. The permit application requires proof of registration with the City of Green Bay Treasurer for Brown County room tax, proof of registration with Brown County Public Health along with a completed initial health inspection reported at $492, and a sample lease agreement confirming that guests must comply with parking, noise and other city ordinances. Renewal is reported at $250 if submitted on time and $500 if late. Every permitted short-term rental must designate a local representative who lives or works within thirty minutes of the property and can respond to issues there, which is a meaningful practical requirement for an out-of-town owner. The Green Bay room tax rate is 10%, higher than the 8% applying in some surrounding municipalities under the area room tax commission, and Wisconsin state and county sales tax applies to lodging as well.

Market-Specific Tips & Challenges

Local Tips & Unique Market Challenges

Tips That Actually Move Revenue in Green Bay

Set the game weekends the week the schedule comes out. It is published in the spring, the ten dates are the most valuable nights of your year, and the owners who move immediately capture guests who are booking flights the same day. Minimum stays of two or three nights on those weekends are normal and accepted. Second, write for the pilgrim. A large share of the guests coming for a game have wanted to do this for years, are travelling from several states away, and care about the walk to the stadium, where to park, where the tailgating happens and whether they can see the lights from the house. Say all of it. Third, sell the cold rather than apologising for it. A December game at Lambeau is the thing people came for, and a house with a warm entry, somewhere to dry boots and coats and a decent kitchen for a pre-game breakfast is exactly right. Fourth, build the other eleven months seriously: Door County overflow in summer, business and medical travel, extended stays, and the university calendar. A property that only earns on ten Sundays is not a business. Fifth, sort the local representative requirement properly before you list, because it is a permit condition and not a formality. Sixth, capture direct bookings from returning groups, since the same friends come back year after year and should not be re-introduced through a marketplace every time.

Unique Green Bay Challenges

The concentration of demand is the central problem: ten dates cannot carry a property, and owners who buy on the strength of game weekend rates are usually disappointed by the annual number. The local representative requirement is a real constraint on remote ownership. Health inspection and permit costs add up, and late renewal doubles the fee. Winters are long and the non-football calendar is thin from January to April. And there is a supply response every time the team does well, with new listings appearing in the neighbourhoods around the stadium, which compresses rates on exactly the dates that matter most.

A football team with no owner
The Green Bay Packers are the only community-owned, non-profit team in American major league professional sport. Facing bankruptcy in the 1920s, the club sold shares to local people rather than to an investor, and it has stayed that way ever since. There are now hundreds of thousands of shareholders. The shares pay no dividend, cannot be resold at a profit, confer no ticket privileges and are close to worthless as an asset, and people buy them anyway, frame them, and leave them in their wills. Because the articles prevent any individual from taking control and prevent relocation, a city of around a hundred thousand people keeps a franchise that would otherwise have moved to a larger market decades ago, which is the entire reason this rental market exists at all.
Finance Essentials — Green Bay
🛡️

Insurance

A Green Bay short-term rental needs the usual short-term rental endorsement and liability cover, with one local wrinkle worth raising directly with your broker: on game weekends properties near the stadium host large groups, alcohol is involved, and the risk profile of those specific dates is different from the rest of the year. Be honest with your insurer about the guest profile rather than describing a quiet family let. If you permit or provide anything for tailgating, including grills or fire pits, ask about it specifically. Winter exposures are significant here: frozen pipes, ice dams, roof snow loads and slips on icy paths are the recurring claims, and a property let to guests who are unfamiliar with real winter conditions raises the last of those meaningfully. Read the vacancy and heating conditions in your policy carefully if the house sits empty for stretches between January and April. Older housing stock in the neighbourhoods around Lambeau brings the usual questions about wiring, furnaces and roofs. Use a Wisconsin broker who writes tourist rooming houses regularly.

🧾

Property & Income Tax

The room tax rate in Green Bay is 10%, which is higher than the 8% applying in some surrounding municipalities served by the area room tax commission, so an owner comparing a property inside the city with one just outside should factor that into pricing. Registration is with the City of Green Bay Treasurer for Brown County room tax, and proof of that registration forms part of the short-term rental permit application, so the two processes are linked. Wisconsin state sales tax and applicable county sales tax also apply to lodging. Confirm exactly which portions a booking platform collects and remits on your behalf, because the city has had a collection agreement with at least one major platform and the arrangements differ by tax and by platform; the liability for anything not remitted remains yours. Wisconsin's tourist rooming house licence from the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection is a separate annual cost, as are the city permit renewal and the county health registration. Keep them all on one calendar, since late permit renewal is reported to double the fee. Ask your accountant about the income treatment and about the deductibility of the inspection and licensing costs.

🏦

Mortgages & Financing

Green Bay is an affordable market by national standards, which is the main reason returns here can look attractive despite the concentrated demand pattern. Property prices are modest, so deposits and loan sizes are manageable and the entry cost is far below the coastal and mountain markets in this wave. The underwriting question that matters is income: a lender assessing a property whose revenue comes overwhelmingly from ten weekends will want documented history rather than projections, and some will discount short-term rental income heavily or ignore it entirely, treating the property as a straightforward residential purchase. That is not necessarily a problem given the price level, but it changes the model. Older housing stock in the neighbourhoods near the stadium brings survey questions about furnaces, roofs, wiring and foundations, and Wisconsin basements raise water and drainage issues regularly. Insurance is reasonable here compared with coastal markets. If you are an out-of-town buyer, sort the local representative requirement before you complete, because it is a condition of operating rather than a nicety. Use a Wisconsin broker who has financed tourist rooming houses.

Future Outlook · 2027 & Beyond

Where Green Bay is Headed Next

The structural fact underpinning this market is that the Packers cannot leave. The community ownership arrangement and the club's articles make relocation effectively impossible, which removes the single largest risk that a small-market sports town normally carries. Around that certainty, the city has been investing: the Titletown district beside the stadium turned parking land into a year-round destination, and there has been sustained effort to give visitors reasons to come outside the season. The regulatory direction is toward formalisation rather than restriction, since Wisconsin's right-to-rent statute prevents the city from banning longer stays and the city's own requirements are administrative rather than prohibitive. The competitive risk is supply: whenever the team performs, listings multiply in the neighbourhoods near Lambeau, and that pressure lands precisely on the dates that carry the year. The owners who will do well over the next few years are the ones who stop treating the football calendar as the whole business, build a genuine second market from Door County overflow, extended stays and business travel, and hold a direct relationship with the groups who come back for the same game weekend every season.

From the Desk of Sofie Sinag

Why We Love Marketing in Green Bay

There is nowhere else quite like Green Bay in American sport, and the reason has nothing to do with the football. The Packers are owned by their community: shares were sold to local people to save the club from bankruptcy in the 1920s, and it has been that way ever since. Hundreds of thousands of people hold stock that pays nothing, cannot be sold at a profit, gets you no tickets and confers no power, and they buy it anyway and hang it on the wall. Because of that arrangement the team cannot be moved, which is why a city of around a hundred thousand people has a franchise that every commercial logic says should be in Los Angeles. And the stadium is not out beside a motorway. Lambeau sits in a neighbourhood of ordinary houses, so on a game day people park on lawns, grills come out in driveways, and eighty thousand people walk in through streets where somebody's grandmother is sitting on the porch watching them go by. In late December, at fifteen below, they do it anyway, in the same numbers, because being cold at Lambeau is part of the point; the 1967 championship against Dallas was played at thirteen below and has been called the Ice Bowl for sixty years. The rest of the year Green Bay is a working river city with a very good railroad museum, an amusement park where the rides cost almost nothing, and Door County an hour up the road. But ten Sundays a year, it is a pilgrimage site.

Why It Matters

A great property in Green Bay doesn't just want a listing — it wants a point of view, an audience, and a brand the city itself would recognise.

Cavmir's Green Bay Cheat Sheet

The Picks We Recommend for Your Welcome Book

Eight things that decide how a Green Bay rental performs, starting with the fact that most of your revenue arrives on about ten known dates.

The schedule

Published in spring

The NFL releases the fixture list months ahead. Those ten dates are your year. Price them the week they appear.

The ownership

No owner at all

The Packers are a community-owned non-profit with hundreds of thousands of shareholders. The team legally cannot relocate.

The walk

Lambeau is in a neighbourhood

Not on a ring road. State the walking time from your front door and where guests should park.

The cold

The Ice Bowl

The 1967 championship was played at thirteen below. Late-season cold is the attraction, not the problem. Provide somewhere to dry boots.

The state law

66.1014

Wisconsin's right-to-rent law stops municipalities banning stays of seven consecutive days or more, but leaves permits and taxes intact.

The rep

Thirty minutes

Every permitted rental must name a local representative living or working within thirty minutes who can respond to problems.

The tax

10% room tax

Green Bay's room tax rate is 10%, against 8% in some surrounding municipalities. Factor it into your pricing comparison.

The other year

Door County overflow

The peninsula an hour north fills and prices hard in July and August. Green Bay is the affordable base, and nobody markets to them.

Local Work · Composite Case Vignettes

What Cavmir Has Done for Green Bay Properties

The three examples below are composite and illustrative. They reflect patterns common to event-driven sports markets rather than any single Green Bay client, and no real business is described.

Game weekends at Tuesday prices
The Brief

A property near the stadium sold out every home game weekend within days of the schedule release, at the same rate it charged in March, and the owner took the fast sell-out as evidence of good pricing.

What We Did

We set game weekend rates and minimum stays the week the schedule was published, benchmarked against what the trip actually costs a visiting fan, and marketed those dates to a past-guest list first.

The Result

The same weekends still filled, several months out, at a materially higher rate, which changed the annual return without changing anything about the property.

A house that earned on ten days
The Brief

An owner had built the purchase case entirely on football weekends and was carrying an empty property through most of the spring and summer, with an annual number well below what the game-day rates suggested.

What We Did

We built a second business around Door County overflow in July and August, extended corporate and medical stays, and summer events, with separate positioning and pricing for each.

The Result

The non-football calendar started producing consistent revenue, and the property stopped depending on ten dates to justify itself.

A permit that lapsed
The Brief

An out-of-state owner missed a renewal deadline, which doubled the fee, and had no local representative properly designated, putting the permit itself at risk during the most valuable part of the season.

What We Did

Before marketing resumed, the compliance position was rebuilt: renewal dates, health registration and the thirty-minute local representative requirement were all put on a single calendar with reminders.

The Result

The operation went into the season fully compliant, and the permit status became a trust signal in the listing rather than an exposure.

Market Intelligence · Seasonality

Airbnb seasonality in Green Bay, month by month

Demand in Green Bay peaks around September through December and runs quietest around February through April. Here is how the year actually books — and what to do about each stretch of the calendar.

Peak demandSteadyQuiet

Peak season

The football schedule is the peak and it is published each spring, which gives you months of notice on the ten most valuable dates of your year. Those weekends should carry firm minimum stays and rates set against what the whole trip costs a visiting fan, not against the property down the street. Any playoff date is the highest-value night you will sell.

The shoulders

Summer is the second season, running on general tourism, riverfront events and Door County overflow when the peninsula an hour north fills and prices hard. That overflow market is real, predictable and almost entirely unmarketed to from this side.

The quiet stretch

January through April, outside any playoff run, is genuinely quiet. The answer is extended stays, business and medical travel and the university calendar rather than discounting to fans who have no game to attend. A property that depends on ten dates is not a business.

Dates that fill first

Packers home game weekendsSeptember through December
Ten regular-season dates published each spring that produce demand far exceeding the city's lodging supply.
Playoff gamesJanuary
Announced at very short notice and the single highest-value nights available in this market.
Late-season cold-weather gamesDecember
A pilgrimage for visiting fans, who come specifically because it is freezing rather than despite it.
Door County summer seasonJuly and August
The peninsula fills and prices sharply, and Green Bay becomes the affordable base for people who could not get in up there.
Summer riverfront festivalsJune through August
Downtown events along the Fox River that fill weekends outside the football calendar.
Market Intelligence · Guests

Who books Green Bay Airbnbs — and how far ahead

Visiting football fans
Groups of friends or families making a pilgrimage, often from several states away and frequently for a milestone birthday. They care about the walk to the stadium and where to park.
Door County overflow
Summer travellers priced out of the peninsula, using Green Bay as a base an hour south. Predictable, and nobody markets to them.
Business and medical travellers
Year-round weekday demand from the hospitals, the port and regional industry, which fills the months football does not.
Extended-stay and relocating guests
The realistic answer to the winter, wanting monthly terms and minimal turnover.

The booking window

Game weekends book within days of the schedule release each spring, and returning groups often rebook the same fixture year on year. Playoff dates are last-minute by definition. Summer fills a few weeks out, and extended stays are arranged directly rather than through search.

Typical stays

Two and three night stays on game weekends, which is where minimum stays are readily accepted. Summer is a mix of weekends and longer family trips. The quiet months suit weekly and monthly stays, and a property that can serve both patterns performs far better annually.

Where guests drive from

MilwaukeeChicagoMadisonMinneapolisAppleton

Where guests fly from

DallasAtlantaDenverPhoenixLos Angeles
A large Wisconsin and Illinois drive market carries the ordinary calendar, but the football weekends pull nationally, with fans travelling from every part of the country. Targeting the visiting team's home market before each fixture is an obvious play that almost nobody here runs.
Market Intelligence · What Wins

The Airbnb that wins in Green Bay

Whole houses near the stadium that sleep a group of friends win the football weekends outright, and the walk to Lambeau is the amenity that matters most. Away from those dates, the same property competes on space, parking and value, so a property that photographs well for both audiences performs best.

Straight Answers

Green Bay Airbnb marketing questions, answered

How do I market my Airbnb in Green Bay?

Start with photography that shows what a guest actually gets here, then write the listing around a real itinerary rather than a feature list. Build a direct-booking site so returning guests can come back without going through a platform, and keep an email list segmented by season so you can reach last year's visitors before the calendar opens. Local search matters more than people expect in a market this size, because guests search the destination and the attraction rather than the word rental. A marketing agency layer handles the photography, the listing copy, the direct-booking site and the local SEO as one system instead of four disconnected jobs.

When is peak season for Green Bay Airbnbs?

The football schedule sets it. Ten home game weekends from September through December carry the year, with any playoff date the most valuable of all and late-season cold-weather games a pilgrimage in themselves. Summer runs on general tourism and Door County overflow. January to April is otherwise quiet.

How far in advance do guests book Green Bay Airbnbs?

Game weekends book within days of the schedule being published each spring, and returning groups often rebook the same fixture year after year. Playoff dates are last-minute by definition. Summer fills a few weeks out, and extended stays are usually arranged directly rather than through a platform search.

Where do most Green Bay Airbnb guests come from?

A large Wisconsin and Illinois drive market carries the ordinary calendar, from Milwaukee, Chicago, Madison and Minneapolis. Game weekends pull nationally, with fans travelling from everywhere. Targeting the visiting team's home city before each fixture is an obvious tactic that almost nobody in this market bothers to run.

What amenities matter most for a Green Bay Airbnb?

Being able to walk to the stadium is worth more than any interior feature on the ten dates that matter. Parking for several cars, a kitchen and dining space large enough for a group, and somewhere to dry coats and boots after a December game all convert. Laundry and fast wifi carry the rest of the year.
