Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pimpama Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pimpama Airbnb took in A$26,194 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,490 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$2,270 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$2,430 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,690 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,290 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 Pimpama's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pimpama listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$365 adds about A$3,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$490 a night or more, against a median of A$365. 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$2,380 a year.
- Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about A$10,100, against A$2,250 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pimpama listings average 4.54 stars, and 8% 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$3,310 a month, against A$2,180 for the average one.
