Profit
Is an Airbnb in Imperial Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Imperial Airbnb took in PEN 29,911 in the 12 months to May 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about PEN 1,820 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 PEN 4,470 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 Imperial's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Imperial listings are booked on 36% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of PEN 355 adds about PEN 3,540 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge PEN 805 a night or more, against a median of PEN 355. 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 PEN 2,990 a year.
- Open for the busy months. April brought the average listing about PEN 5,340, against PEN 3,160 in September, 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 PEN 6,050 a month, against PEN 2,490 for the average one.
