Gross bookings per São João del-Rei listing averaged R$21,159 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Minas Gerais average: R$30,782), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average São João del-Rei listing brings in R$4,040 in July, its best month, and R$2,120 in November, its slowest. February runs within 1% of November, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R$6,490+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn R$3,480 or more, roughly R$1,900 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about R$1,610 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R$709 or less, about 44% 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in São João del-Rei Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average São João del-Rei Airbnb took in R$21,159 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about R$45,600, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R$2,610 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 São João del-Rei's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of São João del-Rei listings are booked on 40% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R$210 adds about R$2,120 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R$355 a night or more, against a median of R$210. 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 R$1,940 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about R$4,040, against R$2,120 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. São João del-Rei listings average 4.89 stars, and 66% 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 R$3,800 a month, against R$1,760 for the average one.
