What it means for a host
The $16 spread between the 25th and 75th percentiles gives hosts real room to move within the band, and listings at or above $47 are already matching what the Hyundai Elantra and top-earner models fetch at the median. The Tesla Model 3 leads supply at 15 listings priced at a $42 median, and the Toyota Corolla's 11 listings cluster at the bottom of the band at $36, so those two models represent the most crowded pricing territory. Mercedes-Benz C-Class and BMW 3 Series hosts each hold a $52 or $50 median on just 4 listings apiece, sitting at or near the 75th percentile with thin competition. Cars also trail Minivans ($55) and Trucks ($66) within Seattle itself, which may be worth noting if a host is considering their fleet mix.
