Profit
Is an Airbnb in Unaizah Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Unaizah Airbnb took in SAR 30,531 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 SAR 53,050, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 3,260 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 Unaizah's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Unaizah listings are booked on 22% or more of their nights, against 13% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of SAR 560 adds about SAR 5,620 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge SAR 765 a night or more, against a median of SAR 560. 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 SAR 3,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about SAR 14,800, against SAR 1,770 in February, 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 SAR 4,420 a month, against SAR 2,540 for the average one.
