August led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in April and bookings in May, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average الملسن Airbnb took in SAR 17,324 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 30,430, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about SAR 1,870 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.

Permits
None of the 42 active listings in الملسن 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 الملسن.
