Filadelfia Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the May 2025 data.
October led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December and bookings in June, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Filadelfia Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Filadelfia Airbnb took in ₡13,342,886 in the 12 months to May 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about ₡810,000 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 ₡2,720,000 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 Filadelfia's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Filadelfia listings are booked on 39% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₡53,500 adds about ₡535,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₡214,000 a night or more, against a median of ₡53,500. 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 ₡1,330,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about ₡5,190,000, against ₡297,000 in June, 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 ₡3,680,000 a month, against ₡1,110,000 for the average one.
