How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Xalisco?
Gross bookings per Xalisco listing averaged MX$74,332 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Nayarit average: MX$380,881), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Xalisco listing brings in MX$13,500 in September, its best month, and MX$5,630 in October, its slowest. December runs within 3% of September, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Xalisco's 27 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$22,100+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$13,100 or more, roughly MX$5,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$7,290 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$4,540 or less, about 62% of the median.
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.
September earns about 2.4 times what October does

Xalisco Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Xalisco Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Xalisco Airbnb took in MX$74,332 in the 12 months to October 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about MX$133,240, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$7,770 a month of that is left after running costs, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes money.
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 Xalisco's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Xalisco listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$955 adds about MX$9,540 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,255 a night or more, against a median of MX$955. 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 MX$7,090 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, September brings the average listing about MX$13,500, against MX$5,630 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Xalisco listings average 4.88 stars, and 74% 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 MX$11,100 a month, against MX$6,190 for the average one.
