Profit
Is an Airbnb in Meaford Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Meaford Airbnb took in CA$45,648 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$2,470 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$4,200 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$4,700 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$2,860 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$2,130 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 Meaford's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Meaford listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$280 adds about CA$2,820 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$460 a night or more, against a median of CA$280. 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$4,090 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$9,750, against CA$2,950 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Meaford listings average 4.89 stars, and 65% 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$6,410 a month, against CA$3,800 for the average one.
