Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ballyboden Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ballyboden Airbnb took in €9,371 in the 12 months to July 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €570 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 €1,060 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 Ballyboden's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ballyboden listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €86 adds about €858 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €125 a night or more, against a median of €86. 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 €940 a year.
- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about €2,390, against €959 in April, 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 €1,430 a month, against €780 for the average one.
