Profit
Is an Airbnb in Balçova Profitable?
Yes, as extra income from a home or room you already have. The average Balçova Airbnb took in ₺132,657 in the 12 months to April 2025, counting listings open only part of the year, and a listing in the top quarter, run by its owner at everyday costs, keeps about ₺16,700 a month after running costs.
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 Balçova's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Balçova listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of ₺1,185 adds about ₺11,800 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge ₺2,260 a night or more, against a median of ₺1,185. 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 ₺13,300 a year.
- Open for the busy months. January brought the average listing about ₺50,600, against ₺28,800 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 ₺22,600 a month, against ₺11,100 for the average one.
