Okay, so I’ve been thinking about this whole Masters golf tournament thing, right? I mean, it’s huge, and it got me wondering – how much do folks make renting out their houses during that week? It’s crazy popular, so there’s gotta be some serious cash in it.
So, I started digging around. First, I hit up Airbnb, because that’s the obvious place to start. Turns out, the average price for a place near Augusta during the tournament, which is April 11th to 15th, is a whopping $3,420. But get this – if you go the week after, April 18th to 22nd, the average drops to just $597. That’s a massive difference! The Masters is making some people rich, man.
Then I started thinking, what about those chairs? You know, the ones people sit on to watch? You can bring your own, but they gotta be a certain type – no pointy ends or armchairs. But if you wanna rent one, they’ve got ’em at Augusta National, for $30 each. Can you imagine? The money they make is astonishing.
And it’s not just the houses and chairs. I found out that the TV networks that broadcast the Masters, they can only show four minutes of commercials each hour. Usually, it’s like 16 minutes! So, those four minutes must be worth a fortune. I read somewhere that it could be as much as $75 per commercial. Insane!
Further Research
- I kept on looking, and it seems like the 2025 Masters is gonna be even bigger. So, this whole house rental thing? It’s not slowing down.
- Apparently, the average house rental price can be anywhere from $2 to something higher. It all depends on things like how big the house is, where it’s located, you know, the usual stuff.
- Now, if you’re lucky enough to have a house near Augusta, and you’re wondering how much to charge, some folks say you can expect anywhere from $1,000 to $1. It varies a ton, as you can imagine.
So, yeah, that’s what I’ve found out about renting houses during the Masters. It’s a whole different world out there. It definitely got me thinking. If you have any other insights, feel free to share them in the comments below!
