Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sekondi-Takoradi Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sekondi-Takoradi Airbnb took in GH₵39,121 in the 12 months to April 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about GH₵100,570, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about GH₵6,190 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sekondi-Takoradi listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 26% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of GH₵585 adds about GH₵5,870 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge GH₵960 a night or more, against a median of GH₵585.

- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about GH₵249,000, against GH₵5,480 in July, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
