Owner blocks reduce the dates offered to guests and can change how occupancy and revenue per available night are reported. Peak blocks may also remove the most valuable dates. Use a consistent denominator and separate the owner's use from guest demand.
Otherwise, pricing changes can appear successful because availability changed. A clear calendar history makes forecasts and actual results easier to compare.
