Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Central Coast Council?

Gross bookings per Central Coast Council listing averaged A$47,529 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New South Wales average: A$46,850), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Central Coast Council listing brings in A$9,400 in January, its best month, and A$3,850 in August, its slowest. May runs within 5% of August, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 37% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$11,600+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$6,940 or more, roughly A$3,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about A$3,990 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$2,010 or less, about half of the median.

These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Central Coast Council Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Central Coast Council Airbnb took in A$47,529 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,430 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$4,270 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$6,740 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,990 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,090 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 Central Coast Council's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Central Coast Council listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$440 adds about A$4,420 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$675 a night or more, against a median of A$440. 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$4,080 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$9,400, against A$3,850 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Central Coast Council listings average 4.78 stars, and 38% 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 A$6,880 a month, against A$3,960 for the average one.
