The dashed line is the average of the months shown, NT$28,500. Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Renai Township Airbnb took in NT$200,818 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 NT$455,200, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about NT$29,400 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.
