Gross bookings per Altamira listing averaged MX$161,624 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tamaulipas average: MX$92,913), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Altamira listing brings in MX$40,000 in July, its best month, and MX$12,100 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

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 Altamira Airbnb took in MX$161,624 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$9,800 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$24,400 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the MX$6,500 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about MX$10,300 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about MX$8,500 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.
