Gross bookings per Northern Community listing averaged NZ$22,443 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Southland average: NZ$39,359), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Northern Community listing brings in NZ$3,780 in January, its best month, and NZ$1,400 in May, 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%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn NZ$5,600+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Northern Community Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Northern Community Airbnb took in NZ$22,443 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NZ$1,310 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 NZ$2,420 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the NZ$1,160 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about NZ$1,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about NZ$1,130 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.

How Northern Community's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Northern Community listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of NZ$170 adds about NZ$1,710 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge NZ$210 a night or more, against a median of NZ$170. 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 NZ$2,130 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about NZ$3,780, against NZ$1,400 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Northern Community listings average 4.79 stars, and 42% 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 NZ$3,430 a month, against NZ$1,870 for the average one.
