Profit
Is an Airbnb in Big River Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Big River Airbnb took in CA$12,732 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CA$710 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$1,370 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CA$1,290 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CA$810 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CA$610 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 Big River's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Big River listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CA$165 adds about CA$1,660 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CA$195 a night or more, against a median of CA$165. 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$1,140 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about CA$3,070, against CA$1,090 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Big River listings average 4.81 stars, and 46% 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$2,040 a month, against CA$1,060 for the average one.
