Profit
Is an Airbnb in El Calero Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average El Calero Airbnb took in MX$131,692 in the 12 months to February 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$254,600, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$15,600 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 El Calero's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of El Calero listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$1,265 adds about MX$12,600 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,640 a night or more, against a median of MX$1,265. 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$13,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. December brought the average listing about MX$23,300, against MX$9,350 in February, 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$21,200 a month, against MX$11,000 for the average one.
