Gross bookings per Retiro listing averaged COP 27,863,529 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Antioquia average: COP 37,698,135), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Retiro listing brought in COP 8,010,000 in November, its best month, and COP 3,270,000 in May, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 3.4 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.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Retiro listing earns about COP 2,740,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Retiro Airbnb took in COP 27,863,529 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 COP 58,410,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 3,390,000 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.
