Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in San Francisco?

Gross bookings per San Francisco listing averaged COP 18,796,150 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 San Francisco listing brings in COP 3,250,000 in December, its best month, and COP 2,000,000 in September, its slowest. October runs within 5% of September, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 6,650,000+ a month, about 4.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 3,500,000 or more, roughly COP 1,900,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about COP 1,570,000 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 707,000 or less, about 45% of the median.

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 1.6 times what September does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, COP 2,480,000. 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.

San Francisco Airbnb Data by Month

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 February 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.

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 San Francisco listing earns about COP 1,570,000 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in San Francisco Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average San Francisco Airbnb took in COP 18,796,150 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 42,020,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about COP 2,620,000 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.

How San Francisco's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Francisco listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 17% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 352,000 adds about COP 3,520,000 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 493,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 352,000. 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 1,820,000 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about COP 3,250,000, against COP 2,000,000 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. San Francisco listings average 4.84 stars, and 33% carry Airbnb's Guest Favorite badge, which guests can filter for.

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 3,500,000 a month, against COP 1,570,000 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in San Francisco?

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 6 times as often as the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) are booked 46%+ of open nights, 29 points above the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) fill 30% or more, roughly two nights a week.
  • Typical properties (median) fill about 17% of open nights.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) fill 8% or less, less than one night a week.

In a typical year, rates peak in July and August at about COP 424,000 and bottom out in February and September at about COP 382,000.

Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 3.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge COP 796,000+ a night, about 2.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge COP 493,000 or more, about COP 140,000 above the median.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in San Francisco?

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 San Francisco it averaged COP 81,000 over the past year, from about COP 66,700 in a typical September to about COP 105,000 in a typical December.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn COP 203,000+ per open night, about 3.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn COP 102,000 or more, about COP 46,000 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about COP 56,100 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn COP 32,600 or less, about 58% of the median.

Airbnb Permits and Registration in San Francisco

That is before cleaning, management, taxes and financing. Busier, better-run listings do far better: the top quarter took in COP 3,500,000 or more in a typical month.

How much can I make on Airbnb in San Francisco?

The middle half of San Francisco listings earn between COP 707,000 and COP 3,500,000 in a typical month, and the top tenth COP 6,650,000 or more. For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in San Francisco?

Listings in San Francisco were booked on 20% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 32% for the RAP (Especial) Central average. February is usually the busiest month.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in San Francisco?

The average booked night in San Francisco cost COP 406,906 before fees. Half of listings charge between COP 225,000 and COP 493,000, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.

Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in San Francisco?

In San Francisco, 99% of active listings display a registration, permit or license number. The share shows what hosts display, not what the rules allow, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.

Is Airbnb profitable in San Francisco?

Yes, when it's run well. The average San Francisco Airbnb grossed COP 18,796,150 in the 12 months to September 2026, 14% below the RAP (Especial) Central average of COP 21,923,004, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about COP 2,620,000 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
