Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sandavágur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sandavágur Airbnb took in kr 147,351 in the 12 months to November 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 9,000 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 kr 13,500 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.
