Kuala Lumpur has roughly 18,500 to 20,000 active Airbnb listings, depending on the data provider. Supply has grown 27–38% in the past year and more than doubled in three years. Average revenue per listing has not kept pace, so competition is rising and well-run listings are pulling ahead of the rest.吉隆坡目前约有 18,500 至 20,000 个活跃 Airbnb 房源（不同数据平台统计略有差异）。房源数量在过去一年增长 27–38%，三年内翻倍有余。但每个房源的平均收入并未同步增长，竞争正在加剧，经营得好的房源与其他房源的差距也在拉大。

The providers count and measure differently, so their occupancy and revenue figures do not match. Both agree on the direction, though: many more listings, and no matching jump in income per listing.两家平台的统计和计算方式不同，所以入住率和收入数字不一致。但两者指向同一趋势：房源大幅增加，而每个房源的收入并未相应提高。
What the KL market looks like吉隆坡市场概况
These figures are from AirROI (Aug 2025 – Jul 2026):以下数据来自 AirROI（2025 年 8 月 – 2026 年 7 月）：
- Mostly condos: about 96% of listings are apartments or condos (AirROI).以公寓为主： 约 96% 的房源是公寓（AirROI）。
- Mostly small units: about 70% are 1- or 2-bedroom units, so larger homes for families and groups are a smaller share of supply (AirROI).以小单位为主： 约 70% 为一房或两房，适合家庭和团体的大单位较少（AirROI）。
- Seasons: December is the strongest month and November the weakest (AirROI).季节性： 12 月最旺，11 月最淡（AirROI）。
The gap between average and well-run listings普通房源与经营良好房源的差距
AirROI's occupancy spread shows how uneven the market is:AirROI 的入住率分布显示市场有多不均衡：
| Listing group房源组别 | Occupancy入住率 |
|---|---|
| Top 10%前 10% | 75% or more75% 或以上 |
| Top 25%前 25% | 53% or more53% 或以上 |
| Median中位数 | 30%30% |
| Bottom 25%后 25% | 13% or less13% 或以下 |
With more listings competing for guests, an average listing is easy to overlook. Pricing, photos, reviews, cleanliness and fast responses are what move a unit towards the top group.房源越多，普通房源越容易被忽略。定价、照片、评价、清洁和回复速度，决定一个单位能否进入前列。
What the trend means for owners趋势对业主的意义
- Location and building matter more. Units near MRT/LRT, city attractions, hospitals and business districts face a wider guest pool.地点和公寓更关键。 靠近 MRT/LRT、市区景点、医院和商业区的单位，客源更广。
- Larger units face less competition. With about 70% of supply in 1–2 bedroom units, well-presented 3-bedroom units and landed homes serve families and groups that have fewer options.大单位竞争较少。 约 70% 的房源是一至两房，布置良好的三房单位和有地住宅可服务选择较少的家庭和团体。
- Management quality shows in the numbers. The occupancy gap between the top and bottom quarters is roughly 40 percentage points.管理水平反映在数字上。 前 25% 与后 25% 的入住率相差约 40 个百分点。
- Projections should be cautious. A fair estimate uses the realistic middle of the market for that building, not the top 10%.收入预估应保守。 合理的估算应参考该公寓市场的中间水平，而不是前 10%。
