Profit
Is an Airbnb in Chiquimulilla Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Chiquimulilla Airbnb took in Q 85,543 in the 12 months to May 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Q 5,200 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 11,000 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 Chiquimulilla's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chiquimulilla listings are booked on 26% or more of their nights, against 14% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Q 1,610 adds about Q 16,100 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Q 2,635 a night or more, against a median of Q 1,610. 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 8,550 a year.
- Open for the busy months. March brought the average listing about Q 19,100, against Q 4,240 in July, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 14,910 a month, against Q 7,130 for the average one.
