Profit
Is an Airbnb in Barrington Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Barrington Airbnb took in A$28,339 in the 12 months to January 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,720 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 A$3,280 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 Barrington's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Barrington listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$280 adds about A$2,790 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$325 a night or more, against a median of A$280. 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 A$2,830 a year.
- Open for the busy months. November brought the average listing about A$3,770, against A$2,090 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 A$4,450 a month, against A$2,360 for the average one.
