Gross bookings per Santa Cruz de Yojoa listing averaged L 168,553 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Cortés average: L 172,864), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Santa Cruz de Yojoa listing brings in L 36,400 in April, its best month, and L 15,500 in February, its slowest. May runs within 5% of April, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 6.3 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.
April earns about 2.3 times what February does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, October 2024 to September 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, L 26,100. 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 October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
December 2025 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in June 2026 and bookings in May 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, April is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Santa Cruz de Yojoa Airbnb took in L 168,553 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about L 446,800, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about L 27,200 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.
