How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Salem?
Gross bookings per Salem listing averaged EC$12,780 over the 12 months to April 2026, before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
The average Salem listing brought in EC$8,710 in September, its best month, and EC$1,560 in June, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Salem's 19 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn EC$9,230+ a month, about four times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn EC$7,410 or more, roughly EC$5,200 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about EC$2,250 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn EC$1,060 or less, about half 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.

Salem Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the April 2026 data.
September led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December and bookings in February, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month. *Apr 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Salem Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Salem Airbnb took in EC$12,780 in the 12 months to April 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 EC$42,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about EC$2,550 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 Salem's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Salem listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 20% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of EC$350 adds about EC$3,510 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge EC$580 a night or more, against a median of EC$350. 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 EC$1,210 a year.
- Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about EC$8,710, against EC$1,560 in June, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Salem listings average 4.52 stars, and 5% 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 EC$3,500 a month, against EC$1,070 for the average one.
