Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Carlos Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Carlos Airbnb took in ARS 19,234,837 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ARS 1,180,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money. A listing in the top quarter leaves about ARS 2,530,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the ARS 530,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about ARS 1,220,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about ARS 1,020,000 a month.
These amounts come before housing costs. Where the mortgage or rent is less each month, the difference is profit; a home owned outright keeps it all after property tax, home insurance and any building or condo fees.

How San Carlos's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Carlos listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ARS 109,000 adds about ARS 1,090,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ARS 158,000 a night or more, against a median of ARS 109,000. That is a separate ranking from the busiest quarter, so the two marks don't multiply into one listing's takings. For the average listing, a 10% higher rate on the nights it already books adds about ARS 1,870,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, November brings the average listing about ARS 7,460,000, against ARS 1,800,000 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. San Carlos listings average 4.92 stars, and 43% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
What a listing keeps comes down to the figures this page measures: nightly rate, nights booked and the months it's open. A listing at the top-quarter mark takes in about ARS 3,410,000 a month, against ARS 1,600,000 for the average one.
