- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn A$1,190 or less, about half of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Northam Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Northam Airbnb took in A$17,208 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$1,050 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$1,990 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 Northam's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Northam listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$170 adds about A$1,680 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$235 a night or more, against a median of A$170. 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$1,720 a year.
- Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about A$4,160, against A$2,510 in December, 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$2,700 a month, against A$1,430 for the average one.
