How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sooke?
Gross bookings per Sooke listing averaged CA$43,940 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 Sooke listing brings in CA$7,620 in August, its best month, and CA$2,280 in January, its slowest. February runs within 5% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 2.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$8,340+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$5,950 or more, roughly CA$2,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CA$3,830 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$2,230 or less, about 58% 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 Sooke Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sooke Airbnb took in CA$43,940 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$2,400 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$3,750 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$4,140 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,740 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$2,070 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 Sooke's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sooke listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 54% 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$295 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$3,980 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$7,620, against CA$2,280 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sooke listings average 4.90 stars, and 71% 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$5,680 a month, against CA$3,660 for the average one.
