Profit
Is an Airbnb in Karimabad Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Karimabad Airbnb took in Rs 1,363,021 in the 12 months to April 2025, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about Rs 1,969,000, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about Rs 121,000 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 Karimabad's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Karimabad listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 35% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of Rs 14,700 adds about Rs 147,000 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge Rs 21,400 a night or more, against a median of Rs 14,700. 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 Rs 136,000 a year.
- Open for the busy months. October brought the average listing about Rs 795,000, against Rs 157,000 in July, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 Rs 164,000 a month, against Rs 114,000 for the average one.
