The average El Jícaro listing brought in MX$60,100 in September, its best month, and MX$15,200 in November, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 40% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across El Jícaro's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$100,000+ a month, about 9.5 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Jícaro Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Jícaro Airbnb took in MX$218,696 in the 12 months to February 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$13,300 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 MX$33,100 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 El Jícaro's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Jícaro listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,550 adds about MX$15,500 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$2,595 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,550. 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$21,900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about MX$60,100, against MX$15,200 in November, 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 MX$44,800 a month, against MX$18,200 for the average one.
