Profit
Is an Airbnb in Whitehouse Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Whitehouse Airbnb took in JMD 4,756,364 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about JMD 289,000 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 661,000 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 Whitehouse's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Whitehouse listings are booked on 30% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of JMD 50,700 adds about JMD 507,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge JMD 74,400 a night or more, against a median of JMD 50,700. 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 JMD 476,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about JMD 1,920,000, against JMD 583,000 in January, 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 JMD 895,000 a month, against JMD 396,000 for the average one.
