Profit
Is an Airbnb in Waterford City Metropolitan District Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Waterford City Metropolitan District Airbnb took in €25,786 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €1,430 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 €2,310 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the €1,830 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about €1,580 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about €1,230 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Waterford City Metropolitan District listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of €180 adds about €1,780 in bookings.

- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about €4,730, against €1,740 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Waterford City Metropolitan District listings average 4.80 stars, and 56% 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 €3,450 a month, against €2,150 for the average one.
