Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Areia brought in R$51,299 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 67% more than the Paraíba average of R$30,787.
The short answer
Areia earns on price rather than volume. Listings averaged R$536 a night and were booked on 29% of available nights, against R$370 and 35% for the Paraíba average.

With 39 active listings, Areia is the ninth-largest of 13 Paraíba markets AirROI tracks.

Gross bookings per Areia listing averaged R$51,299 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Paraíba average: R$30,787), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Areia listing brings in R$7,440 in June, its best month, and R$2,560 in October, its slowest. November runs within 2% of October, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 38% 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
June earns about three times what October does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Areia Airbnb took in R$51,299 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R$3,000 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 R$6,480 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the R$2,650 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about R$3,220 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about R$2,590 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.

Permits
None of the 39 active listings in Areia 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.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Areia.
