Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Burnaby?
Gross bookings per Burnaby listing averaged CA$26,479 over the 12 months to September 2026 (British Columbia average: CA$45,117), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Burnaby listing brings in CA$4,690 in August, its best month, and CA$2,080 in February, its slowest. January runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$6,960+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$4,550 or more, roughly CA$2,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CA$2,430 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$1,290 or less, about half 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.

Burnaby Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
June 2026 led on revenue and nightly rate; bookings peaked in August 2026. June 2026 was a one-off: listings earned about 82% more than they did in June 2025, so the seasonal averages on this page leave it out. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Burnaby listing earns about CA$2,430 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb income calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Burnaby Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Burnaby Airbnb took in CA$26,479 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,550 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 CA$2,930 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,630 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,680 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,340 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 Burnaby's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Burnaby listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$165 adds about CA$1,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$265 a night or more, against a median of CA$165. 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 CA$2,480 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$4,690, against CA$2,080 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Burnaby listings average 4.72 stars, and 30% 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 CA$4,130 a month, against CA$2,210 for the average one.
