Revenue
Gross bookings per Dresden listing averaged €13,426 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Saxony average: €10,950), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Dresden listing brings in €1,920 in December, its best month, and €916 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: December leads August by 2%, and January sits just 3% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.1 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.

The dashed line is the average of the months shown, €1,480. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
August 2026 led on revenue and nightly rate; bookings peaked in December 2025. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Dresden Airbnb took in €13,426 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €720 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 €1,170 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €830 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €620 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.

The 12-month rate of 43% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Dresden, known as ADR (average daily rate), was €107 over the past year, about the same as the Saxony average (€105) and about 18% below the Germany average of €130. In a typical year, rates peak in July and August at about €110 and bottom out in February at about €89.

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Dresden it averaged €46 over the past year, from about €30 in a typical January to about €62 in a typical December.

Permits
3% of the 1,492 active listings in Dresden display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Dresden.
