Why would a VRBO change its price… - eightfingers2.0 - 06-15-2021
… Seven times in two weeks? All the changes were less than $2 and most were $1 each time. It’s a lower priced VRBO in the $135 a night range.

Hmm, I've seen that in real estate listings, as it sometimes generates "price dropped" or "price is going up, buy now" alerts for people searching an area. Maybe a similar effect for vacation seekers?

"Searching without dates selected
Sometimes it’s more about where to go than when. We let guests search without specific dates, which means we'll display an average nightly price for properties that match their search criteria. We look at the next four months and average the cost of the nights still available to give the best idea of a property's price."

So maybe they’re experimenting with listing position? Seems like a one difference would have little effect.
I can see going from $150 down to $149, though.
