Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in San Diego?

Gross bookings per San Diego listing averaged $18,233 over the 12 months to September 2026 (La Libertad average: $17,010), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average San Diego listing brought in $5,760 in October, its best month, and $1,930 in June, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% 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.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,610+ a month, about 3.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,530 or more, roughly $2,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,720 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $971 or less, about 57% 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.

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 Diego listing earns about $1,720 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The free Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in San Diego Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average San Diego Airbnb took in $18,233 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,100 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 $2,940 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,150 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $950 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 San Diego's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of San Diego listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 29% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $210 adds about $2,100 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $310 a night or more, against a median of $210. 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 $1,770 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about $5,760, against $1,930 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. San Diego listings average 4.56 stars, and 16% 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 $4,010 a month, against $1,520 for the average one.

About This Data

Figures on this page cover 32 active Airbnb listings in San Diego from October 2025 to September 2026 (trailing twelve months). AirROI refreshes them monthly from listing-level booking and calendar data covering 20+ million properties worldwide. Money figures are in U.S. dollars. Annual revenue averages every listing active during the period, including those listed for only part of it; monthly figures average the listings active in each month; the tier lists show the spread. Neighborhood descriptions are AI-assisted. See the methodology for definitions.
