Gross bookings per Biobío listing averaged CLP 3,963,642 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Chile average: CLP 6,540,535), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Biobío listing brought in CLP 1,010,000 in January, its best month, and CLP 291,000 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
These are monthly figures for listings active in each month. The annual average above also counts listings that operated for only part of the year, so it runs below twelve times these figures.

January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in October 2025 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Biobío Airbnb took in CLP 3,963,642 in the 12 months to October 2026, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about CLP 367,000 a month after running costs.
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.

Permits
None of the 31 active listings in Biobío display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Biobío.
