Profit
Is an Airbnb in León (Municipio) Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average León (Municipio) Airbnb took in C$209,440 in the 12 months to October 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 C$470,400, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about C$28,600 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 León (Municipio)'s Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of León (Municipio) listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of C$1,965 adds about C$19,700 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge C$3,590 a night or more, against a median of C$1,965. 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 C$20,400 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about C$30,000, against C$19,200 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. León (Municipio) listings average 4.75 stars, and 35% 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 C$39,200 a month, against C$17,500 for the average one.

Top-Earning Airbnbs and Hosts in León (Municipio)
The top-grossing Airbnb in León (Municipio), a five-bedroom home, took in C$1,460,000 over the past year, about 7 times the city's average of C$209,000. One of the top-grossing listings, a private room at C$35,171 a night (about 5.5 times the C$6,450 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Three of the six listings below have two bedrooms or fewer, so size alone doesn't explain the top of this market.
