The dashed line is the average of the months shown, CLP 703,000. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Vallenar Airbnb took in CLP 4,519,735 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about CLP 7,569,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CLP 447,000 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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.
