Airbnb market data · 202612 months to October 2026
The average Airbnb in Førde brought in kr 107,937 over the 12 months through October 2026, about 44% less than the Vestland average of kr 193,734.

Gross bookings per Førde listing averaged kr 107,937 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Vestland average: kr 193,734), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Førde listing brings in kr 23,000 in July, its best month, and kr 11,800 in March, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 5%, and March sits just 1% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
July earns about twice what March does

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Førde Airbnb took in kr 107,937 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about kr 6,200 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 kr 11,000 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the kr 5,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about kr 6,700 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about kr 5,400 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.
