Profit
Is an Airbnb in Popalito Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Popalito Airbnb took in COP 39,019,463 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,370,000 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 COP 4,820,000 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 Popalito's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Popalito listings are booked on 32% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 261,000 adds about COP 2,610,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 513,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 261,000. 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 COP 3,900,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. February brought the average listing about COP 20,700,000, against COP 2,640,000 in July, 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 COP 6,540,000 a month, against COP 3,250,000 for the average one.
