Revenue
Gross bookings per Ricaurte listing averaged COP 21,996,394 over the 12 months to September 2026 (RAP (Especial) Central average: COP 21,923,004), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Ricaurte listing brings in COP 4,100,000 in December, its best month, and COP 2,270,000 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 4.7 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.
December earns about 1.8 times what February does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 3,030,000. 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.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ricaurte Airbnb took in COP 21,996,394 in the 12 months to September 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 49,270,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,870,000 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.

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 4,110,000 a month, against COP 1,830,000 for the average one.
Occupancy
Ricaurte listings were booked on 21% of the nights they were open over the past year, 11 percentage points below the RAP (Especial) Central average (32%) and 12 points below the Colombia average (33%). In a typical year, occupancy climbs to 29% in January and falls to 18% in May.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 5.4 times as often as the bottom quarter.

Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 21% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Ricaurte, known as ADR (average daily rate), was COP 445,003 over the past year, about 45% above the RAP (Especial) Central average of COP 307,000 and about 26% above the Colombia average of COP 353,000. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and August at about COP 430,000 and bottom out in February and September at about COP 379,000.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.9 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
August rates run 14% above February's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 405,000. The 12-month ADR of COP 445,003 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Ricaurte it averaged COP 96,300 over the past year, from about COP 80,000 in a typical September to about COP 132,000 in a typical December.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Permits
97% of the 876 active listings in Ricaurte display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what local rules allow: it can't show whether new permits are still issued, or whether limits on nights, zones or property types apply.
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 Ricaurte.

Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.
