Gross bookings per Randburg listing averaged R 110,716 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Gauteng average: R 90,198), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Randburg listing brings in R 17,800 in December, its best month, and R 11,500 in May, its slowest. 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 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn R 29,200+ a month, about 3.6 times the typical property.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn R 3,640 or less, about 44% of the median.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Randburg Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Randburg Airbnb took in R 110,716 in the 12 months to September 2026, an average that counts every active listing, including those open only part of the year. A listing in the top quarter took in about R 214,500, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about R 12,900 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 Randburg's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Randburg listings are booked on 54% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of R 770 adds about R 7,680 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge R 1,155 a night or more, against a median of R 770. 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 R 10,600 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, December brings the average listing about R 17,800, against R 11,500 in May, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Randburg listings average 4.73 stars, and 32% 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 R 17,900 a month, against R 9,200 for the average one.
