How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sale?
Gross bookings per Sale listing averaged A$19,127 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Victoria average: A$36,652), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Sale listing brings in A$2,630 in December, its best month, and A$1,620 in February, its slowest. September runs within 3% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$4,550+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn A$3,230 or more, roughly A$1,400 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about A$1,880 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$879 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.
December earns about 1.6 times what February does

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sale Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sale Airbnb took in A$19,127 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,080 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$1,870 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$1,110 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$1,170 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$930 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 Sale's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sale listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$185 adds about A$1,870 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$240 a night or more, against a median of A$185. 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$1,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about A$2,630, against A$1,620 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sale listings average 4.85 stars, and 46% 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$2,740 a month, against A$1,590 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Sale
None of the 72 active listings in Sale display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

FAQ
Sale Airbnb FAQ

Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in A$3,230 or more in a typical month.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Sale?
Listings in Sale were booked on 36% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 40% for the Victoria average. December is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Sale?
The average booked night in Sale cost A$205 before fees. Half of listings charge between A$145 and A$240, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Sale?
None of the active Sale listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Sale?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sale Airbnb grossed A$19,127 in the 12 months to September 2026, 48% below the Victoria average of A$36,652. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, A$12,917 a year (about A$1,080 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about A$1,870 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
