Profit
Is an Airbnb in Wawa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Wawa Airbnb took in CA$18,320 in the 12 months to September 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$1,110 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$1,880 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 Wawa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Wawa listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$155 adds about CA$1,530 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$205 a night or more, against a median of CA$155. 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$1,830 a year.
- Open for the busy months. August brought the average listing about CA$3,480, against CA$1,240 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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$2,550 a month, against CA$1,530 for the average one.
