Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Zafra brought in €4,587 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 59% less than the Extremadura average of €11,142.
The short answer
Rates and bookings both trail the Extremadura average. Listings averaged €87 a night and were booked on 21% of available nights, against €120 and 31% for the Extremadura average.
Timing matters: in August, usually the best month, the average listing earns about 2.5 times as much as in February, usually the slowest. With only 38 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 38 active listings, Zafra is the seventh-largest of 15 Extremadura markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue fell 11% while the number of active listings grew 15%.

Gross bookings per Zafra listing averaged €4,587 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Extremadura average: €11,142), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Zafra listing brings in €984 in August, its best month, and €395 in February, its slowest. January runs within 5% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Zafra Airbnb took in €4,587 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 €7,390, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about €450 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.
