Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Matamoros?
Gross bookings per Matamoros listing averaged MX$61,519 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 Matamoros listing brings in MX$10,500 in December, its best month, and MX$6,500 in February, its slowest. July runs within 1% of December, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 4.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn MX$20,400+ a month, about 3.5 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn MX$12,100 or more, roughly MX$6,300 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about MX$5,840 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn MX$2,490 or less, about 43% of the median.
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
Is an Airbnb in Matamoros Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Matamoros Airbnb took in MX$61,519 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$127,260, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about MX$7,680 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 Matamoros's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Matamoros listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 23% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of MX$875 adds about MX$8,770 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge MX$1,225 a night or more, against a median of MX$875. 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$5,890 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about MX$10,500, against MX$6,500 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Matamoros listings average 4.81 stars, and 46% 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$10,610 a month, against MX$5,130 for the average one.

What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Matamoros?
Listings in Matamoros were booked on 26% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 29% for the Tamaulipas average. December is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Matamoros?
The average booked night in Matamoros cost MX$1,018 before fees. Half of listings charge between MX$600 and MX$1,225, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Matamoros?
None of the active Matamoros listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and tourist-tax rules with the local authority before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Matamoros?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Matamoros Airbnb grossed MX$61,519 in the 12 months to September 2026, 34% below the Tamaulipas average of MX$92,913, counting listings open only part of the year. A listing at the top-quarter mark, run by its owner with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, has about MX$7,680 a month left before the mortgage or rent, so a home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit.
