Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. 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. *Jun 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Trail Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Trail Airbnb took in CA$22,710 in the 12 months to June 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,320 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$2,070 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,440 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$1,150 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 Trail's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Trail listings are booked on 68% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$150 adds about CA$1,490 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$185 a night or more, against a median of CA$150. 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$2,130 a year.
- Open for the busy months. February brought the average listing about CA$4,000, against CA$1,940 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Trail listings average 4.88 stars, and 48% 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$2,940 a month, against CA$1,890 for the average one.
