Gross bookings per Real de Catorce listing averaged MX$97,604 over the 12 months to September 2026 (San Luis Potosí average: MX$86,678), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Real de Catorce listing brings in MX$18,200 in December, its best month, and MX$8,800 in May, its slowest. September runs within 4% of May, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 4.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Real de Catorce Airbnb took in MX$97,604 in the 12 months to September 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$193,090, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$11,780 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.
