Number of listings on AirBnb == (1/2)*Number of listing on HomeAway

Thanks, that makes the current 1B valuation proposition even more unsettling. Does this suggest that HomeAway has a 2 B dollar valuation?

Apparently, yes:

"HomeAway Prices IPO Between $24 And $27 Per Share, Now Valued At $2 Billion" http://techcrunch.com/2011/06/16/homeaway-prices-ipo-between...

Well the valuation isn't for the number of listings alone. I would imagine (though I don't, in all honesty, know) that AirBnb has a far steeper upward trajectory than HomeAway at this point.
