Profit
Is an Airbnb in Swords Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Swords Airbnb took in €19,321 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,160 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 €1,870 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,000 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 Swords's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Swords listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 52% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €105 adds about €1,050 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge €140 a night or more, against a median of €105. 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 €1,880 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about €3,000, against €1,350 in November, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Swords listings average 4.83 stars, and 51% 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 €2,580 a month, against €1,610 for the average one.
