Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Socorro Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average El Socorro Airbnb took in COP 7,492,917 in the 12 months to December 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about COP 1,286,000 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.

How El Socorro's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Socorro listings are booked on 24% or more of their nights, against 11% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of COP 199,000 adds about COP 1,990,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge COP 349,000 a night or more, against a median of COP 199,000. 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 749,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about COP 2,330,000, against COP 314,000 in September, 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 1,739,000 a month, against COP 624,000 for the average one.
