Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Barrie?

Gross bookings per Barrie listing averaged CA$19,239 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ontario average: CA$29,187), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Barrie listing brings in CA$3,730 in July, its best month, and CA$1,820 in April, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 1%, and April sits just 1% below March, so either pair can swap places 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CA$5,440+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn CA$3,310 or more, roughly CA$1,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about CA$1,760 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CA$801 or less, about 45% 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.

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 Barrie listing earns about CA$1,760 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The short-term rental calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Barrie Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Barrie Airbnb took in CA$19,239 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,080 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$2,040 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,530 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$1,210 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$930 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 Barrie's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Barrie listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$140 adds about CA$1,410 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$230 a night or more, against a median of CA$140. 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$1,770 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about CA$3,730, against CA$1,820 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Barrie listings average 4.76 stars, and 40% 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$3,010 a month, against CA$1,600 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Barrie

None of the 342 active listings in Barrie display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Barrie.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Barrie?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Barrie Airbnb grossed CA$19,239 in the 12 months to September 2026, 34% below the Ontario average of CA$29,187. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, CA$12,949 a year (about CA$1,080 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about CA$2,040 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
