In a typical year, the average Sunset Strip listing brings in A$6,240 in January, its best month, and A$2,210 in August, its slowest.

Across Sunset Strip's 29 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn A$7,080+ a month, about 2.5 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,470 or less, about half of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sunset Strip Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sunset Strip Airbnb took in A$33,047 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,800 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$2,940 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,180 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,070 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$1,560 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 Sunset Strip's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sunset Strip listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$280 adds about A$2,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$360 a night or more, against a median of A$280. 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$2,990 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$6,240, against A$2,210 in August, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sunset Strip listings average 4.75 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$4,450 a month, against A$2,750 for the average one.
