Profit
Is an Airbnb in Stratford Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Stratford Airbnb took in CA$38,021 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$2,310 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$3,510 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 Stratford's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Stratford listings are booked on 51% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$295 adds about CA$2,970 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$365 a night or more, against a median of CA$295. 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$3,800 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about CA$8,280, against CA$1,860 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$4,780 a month, against CA$3,170 for the average one.
