Profit
Is an Airbnb in Central Coast Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Central Coast Airbnb took in A$22,808 in the 12 months to February 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,390 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$2,470 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's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Central Coast listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$140 adds about A$1,410 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$195 a night or more, against a median of A$140. 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$2,280 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about A$3,910, against A$1,190 in August, 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$3,350 a month, against A$1,900 for the average one.
