Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Santa Ana?

Gross bookings per Santa Ana listing averaged $13,717 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Panamá Province average: $15,138), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Santa Ana listing brings in $1,600 in March, its best month, and $1,010 in September, its slowest. December runs within 1% of March, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 2.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $2,690+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $1,780 or more, roughly $590 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,190 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $771 or less, about two-thirds 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.

March earns about 1.6 times what September does

Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.

Santa Ana Airbnb Data by Month

Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, March is usually the strongest month.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Santa Ana Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Santa Ana Airbnb took in $13,717 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $750 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 $1,130 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,070 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $840 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $650 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 Santa Ana's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Santa Ana listings are booked on 76% or more of their nights, against 59% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $66 adds about $665 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $95 a night or more, against a median of $66. 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 $1,260 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $1,600, against $1,010 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Santa Ana listings average 4.76 stars, and 12% 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 $1,710 a month, against $1,140 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Santa Ana

None of the 104 active listings in Santa Ana display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and tourist-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the local authority before buying or listing in Santa Ana.
