How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Pfäfers?
Gross bookings per Pfäfers listing averaged CHF 8,361 over the 12 months to September 2026 (St. Gallen average: CHF 15,052), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Pfäfers listing brings in CHF 1,750 in June, its best month, and CHF 1,010 in March, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: June leads July by 3%, and March sits just 1% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 30% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Pfäfers's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn CHF 2,770+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn CHF 1,550 or more, roughly CHF 530 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about CHF 1,020 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn CHF 512 or less, about half of the median.
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.
June earns about 1.7 times what March does

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pfäfers Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pfäfers Airbnb took in CHF 8,361 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about CHF 410 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 CHF 640 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the CHF 1,310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about CHF 520 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about CHF 360 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 Pfäfers's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pfäfers listings are booked on 34% or more of their nights, against 19% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of CHF 205 adds about CHF 2,060 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge CHF 275 a night or more, against a median of CHF 205. 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 CHF 710 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about CHF 1,750, against CHF 1,010 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pfäfers listings average 4.52 stars, and 21% 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 CHF 1,060 a month, against CHF 700 for the average one.
