Profit
Is an Airbnb in Oaxaca City Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Oaxaca City Airbnb took in MX$201,132 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$12,100 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$26,600 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$8,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$12,900 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$10,500 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 Oaxaca City's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Oaxaca City listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 34% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,145 adds about MX$11,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,985 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,145. 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$19,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about MX$30,500, against MX$18,400 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Oaxaca City listings average 4.77 stars, and 35% 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$36,400 a month, against MX$16,800 for the average one.
