Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Fernie?

Gross bookings per Fernie listing averaged CA$36,903 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 Fernie listing brings in CA$5,660 in February, its best month, and CA$2,210 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$8,330+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$5,170 or more, roughly CA$2,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CA$3,140 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$1,680 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.

February earns about 2.6 times what April does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Fernie Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Fernie Airbnb took in CA$36,903 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,950 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$3,240 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$3,950 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,280 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,680 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 Fernie's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Fernie listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$235 adds about CA$2,330 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$345 a night or more, against a median of CA$235. 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$3,300 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, February brings the average listing about CA$5,660, against CA$2,210 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Fernie listings average 4.81 stars, and 39% 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$5,060 a month, against CA$3,080 for the average one.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CA$267. The 12-month ADR of CA$284 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
