Profit
Is an Airbnb in Shire Of Capel Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Shire Of Capel Airbnb took in A$45,058 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about A$2,490 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$4,560 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the A$3,940 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about A$2,820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about A$2,150 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Shire Of Capel listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 45% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of A$205 adds about A$2,040 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge A$345 a night or more, against a median of A$205.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about A$5,860, against A$3,110 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Shire Of Capel listings average 4.86 stars, and 61% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.
