Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Apaneca?

Gross bookings per Apaneca listing averaged $8,158 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Departamento de Ahuachapán average: $9,965), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Apaneca listing brings in $1,370 in December, its best month, and $733 in June, its slowest. 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 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $2,430+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $1,360 or more, roughly $700 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $659 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $324 or less, about half 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 1.9 times what June does

The typical Apaneca listing earns about $659 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 Apaneca Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Apaneca Airbnb took in $8,158 in the 12 months to October 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 $16,850, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $990 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 Apaneca's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Apaneca listings are booked on 38% or more of their nights, against 18% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $115 adds about $1,160 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $160 a night or more, against a median of $115. 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 $780 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about $1,370, against $733 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Apaneca listings average 4.84 stars, and 50% 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 $1,400 a month, against $680 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Apaneca

None of the 86 active listings in Apaneca display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

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 Apaneca.
