Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lockyer Valley Regional Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lockyer Valley Regional Airbnb took in A$46,745 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,720 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$3,700 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,010 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,970 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,350 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.

- Open for the busy months. April brought the average listing about A$5,480, against A$3,540 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lockyer Valley Regional listings average 4.91 stars, and 70% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
