In a typical year, the average Santa Ana listing brings in Q 15,500 in December, its best month, and Q 3,740 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Santa Ana's 28 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn Q 19,200+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn Q 10,100 or more, roughly Q 4,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about Q 5,260 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn Q 2,950 or less, about 56% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Santa Ana Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Santa Ana Airbnb took in Q 76,638 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Q 4,480 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 Q 8,680 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the Q 2,220 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about Q 4,660 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about Q 3,860 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 Santa Ana's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santa Ana listings are booked on 33% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Q 835 adds about Q 8,330 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Q 1,695 a night or more, against a median of Q 835. 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 Q 7,440 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about Q 15,500, against Q 3,740 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Santa Ana listings average 4.77 stars, and 32% 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 Q 12,260 a month, against Q 6,390 for the average one.
