Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sechelt Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sechelt Airbnb took in CA$38,218 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$2,130 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$3,430 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$3,140 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,390 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,830 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 Sechelt's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sechelt listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 49% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$215 adds about CA$2,160 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$320 a night or more, against a median of CA$215. 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$3,510 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$7,620, against CA$1,990 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sechelt listings average 4.85 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 CA$5,090 a month, against CA$3,180 for the average one.
