Revenue
Gross bookings per La Aurora listing averaged $3,907 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Guayas average: $3,662), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average La Aurora listing brings in $879 in July, its best month, and $497 in April, its slowest. October runs within 4% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. 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 4.6 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average La Aurora Airbnb took in $3,907 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 $7,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $420 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.
