The HomeExchange calendar is an essential tool to find your next home swap. Like your photos and descriptions, the calendar is a way of putting your house out there to the world, a kind of window of your availability.
Why you should regularly update your calendar
Regularly updating your calendar is essential to allow you to:
- inform members of the community of your availability but also of your desires (reciprocal exchange or with GuestPoints) and therefore to be contacted in a more precise manner
- be much more visible in community searches and to go up in search results (and therefore receive more exchange requests!)
- contact members better since you know what they are looking for too, which increases your chances of a positive response!
How do I update my HomeExchange calendar?
- If my house is available because I am leaving it and will be somewhere else: on vacation with relatives, for example, or if I have already finalized an exchange as a guest using GuestPoints at that time, I choose “Available for GuestPoint exchange” in blue.
- If I want to make an exchange at this time, and my house is only available if I find an exchange, I choose “Available for reciprocal exchange" in yellow.
- If I am open to make an exchange on these dates, whether with a reciprocal or GuestPoint exchange, then I choose “Open to any request” in green
- What if I am not available? I do not select any period and my calendar remains blank.
If you are looking for a non-simultaneous reciprocal exchange, we encourage you to select “Open to any request” in green.
