Gross bookings per Drapers listing averaged JMD 3,873,824 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Portland average: JMD 1,909,030), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Drapers listing brings in JMD 702,000 in December, its best month, and JMD 361,000 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 5.5 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.

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The dashed line is the average of the months shown, JMD 496,000. 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 September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in January 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, December is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Drapers Airbnb took in JMD 3,873,824 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 225,000 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 JMD 516,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the JMD 178,000 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about JMD 240,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about JMD 194,000 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.

The average nightly rate in Drapers, known as ADR (average daily rate), was JMD 66,355 over the past year, about twice the Portland average of JMD 33,000 and about 2.3 times the Jamaica average of JMD 28,800.

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Drapers it averaged JMD 15,100 over the past year, from about JMD 11,700 in a typical October to about JMD 22,700 in a typical December.

None of the 48 active listings in Drapers display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.
Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Drapers.
