The In-Context Chart, that exists on individual listing's page displays the overview of our pricing and certain settings for the next 18 months.

This powerful feature allows you to view your pricing not only what we recommend, but also view draft changes whenever you make changes to your Settings, explore further sets of pricing like Last year's pricing, Sets (if you have connected a Set), Pricing Engine, and the Market's.

In-Context Chart Series

Our in-context chart includes all types of series that you can view. Whether you select a specific View or manually add a series, you can display that data in the in-context chart.

  • Observed prices – current pricing on channel/PMS.

  • Current settings – nightly rates that we sync for each date of your listing.

  • Recommended pricing – the price recommendations will exclude limitations, such as the minimum price settings.

  • Fixed prices – custom rates that were set manually.

  • Base price – the foundation price in Wheelhouse is the base rate before any adjustments are made by our algorithm or any of your existing settings.

  • Minimum price – the lowest price limit.

  • Maximum price – the highest price limit.

  • Booked days – dates that are already booked.

  • Blocked days – dates that are blocked.

  • Bookings – the booked rates.

  • Last year bookings – previous year's booked rates.

  • Last year prices – previous year's asking rates.

  • Set – individual listing's asking rate within the Set.

  • Set median – the set's median asking rate.

  • Set 25th-75th – the set's asking rates range from the 25th to the 75th percentile.

  • Reactive model – price recommendations based solely on the reactive model.

  • Predictive model – price recommendations based solely on the predictive model.

  • Reactive model impact – weighting in percentages between the reactive model and the predictive model.

  • Minimum stays – number of minimum stays on the selected date.

  • Market median – the market's median asking rate.

  • Market 25th-75th – the market's asking rates range from the 25th to the 75th percentile.


Observed Prices vs. Current Settings

You can view draft changes anytime you adjust your Settings before saving, which allows you to review any pricing-related settings and see the final prices before syncing. For example, if I adjust my Base Price to a higher rate but don’t want to sync it yet—just review the prices first—I can see the split between the Observed Prices (blue line) and the Current Settings (purple line).

It also serves as an easy indicator of whether Wheelhouse pricing is synced to your account’s calendar. If there are any discrepancies in prices on available dates, it might indicate that prices haven’t synced properly yet.

Note: Wheelhouse can only sync our pricing recommendations (nightly rates) to available dates of your channel or PMS. While we still generate our pricing recommendations on Wheelhouse Calendar, they won't be pushed to booked and blocked dates until these dates become available again. So you may see the Observed Pricing and Wheelhouse Pricing may not be the same for booked dates or blocked dates.

Available Date

In the example below, both Observed Pricing and Wheelhouse Pricing are the same at $88 because September 1, 2024, is available:

Booked Date

On the other hand, September 6, 2024, shows the Observed Pricing is $90, while Wheelhouse Pricing is $91:

This is because September 6, 2024, was already booked at $90 which corresponds to the Observed Pricing or the current pricing from the channel when it was booked which can be confirmed by clicking the "View historical changes" link on the left side panel of Wheelhouse Calendar:

The Wheelhouse Pricing of $91 is the nightly rate that we currently generate for this date, though it won't be synced since the date is already booked:


Blocked Date

Similar to booked dates, the Observed Pricing and Wheelhouse Pricing may also show different rates for blocked dates. In the example below, Observed Pricing is $482, while Wheelhouse Pricing is $283, since February 11, 2025, is a blocked date:

The $482 corresponds to the Observed Pricing or the current pricing from the channel when it was blocked. This can be confirmed by clicking the "View historical changes" link on the right-side panel of the Wheelhouse Calendar:
