San Francisco: Sunday has the lowest Booked Occupancy (Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026)

San Francisco short-term rentals, Oct 26–Nov 1, 2026: Sunday has the lowest Booked Occupancy despite Crawloween continuing. See what to check in your calendar.

Updated October 20, 2026

Crawloween continues into Sunday in San Francisco, California. For operators planning around Halloween, that raises a practical question: does the celebration's final date warrant the same attention as Saturday night?

Sunday has the lowest citywide Booked Occupancy in San Francisco for October 26, 2026–November 1, 2026, even though Crawloween continues that day. Wheelhouse data as of October 19, 2026 shows Sunday, November 1, 2026, at 19.3% Booked Occupancy, versus the week's highest reading of 24.2% on Saturday, October 31, 2026. These percentages describe the share of nights already reserved, not final Occupancy or booking growth.

Wheelhouse data shows that Crawloween's in-window dates span both the highest and lowest citywide Booked Occupancy readings of the week.

Sunday differs on price as well as bookings

The contrast extends beyond Booked Occupancy. Saturday, Oct 31, has the week's highest Asking Rate at $441, while Sunday, Nov 1, has the lowest at $400. Asking Rates are advertised nightly prices including fees, not achieved ADR. The citywide view therefore gives operators a reason to assess Sunday separately rather than carry Saturday's pricing assumptions across the weekend.

Price and Booked Occupancy do not follow the same ordering throughout the week, however. Thursday, Oct 29, has Booked Occupancy of 23.4% at an Asking Rate of $407. Monday, Oct 26, has lower Booked Occupancy of 22.8% despite a higher Asking Rate of $408. The weekend pairing is an observation about these dates, not evidence that higher advertised prices produce higher Booked Occupancy.

Crawloween continues, but the calendar is not a demand measure

CrawlSF lists Crawloween dates within this stay window from October 30, 2026–November 1, 2026, with participating bars across several San Francisco neighborhoods. Sunday is therefore not simply a date after the celebration has ended: the event calendar extends through the week's lowest Booked Occupancy reading.

The schedule confirms activity, not attendance, overnight demand or an event premium. Sunday has more time remaining until arrival, but this snapshot cannot establish how booking horizon or weekday differences contribute to its lower Booked Occupancy. Nor can the citywide observation tell an operator whether guests near a particular participating venue follow the same pattern.

Does your Sunday need a different approach?

Use Wheelhouse Dynamic Sets to assemble appropriate comparable listings and inspect their context for Oct 31 and Nov 1 separately. Look for whether Sunday's lower asking-price position is also present among relevant alternatives, rather than treating the citywide figures as your property's benchmark.

Then use Wheelhouse Performance Analytics to review your own bookings alongside your availability records. For each date, distinguish confirmed bookings from cancellations and blocked nights, keeping the eligible nights consistent. If comparable historical records exist, compare Saturday with Saturdays and Sunday with Sundays at matching time remaining until arrival—not directly with each other as an event-impact test. Weekday differences remain a competing explanation for the contrast.

Sunday is the priority for investigation, not an automatic discount candidate. If comparable listings and your own records both support a weaker Sunday position, assess its rate and booking restrictions independently. If your Sunday is already well reserved or the comparable context differs, keep that property-level evidence ahead of the citywide ranking.
