June led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July and bookings in December, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in for stays in that month. *Apr 2025 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.
The typical Houghton Regis listing earns about £829 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Houghton Regis Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Houghton Regis Airbnb took in £6,341 in the 12 months to April 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about £390 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 £720 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 Houghton Regis's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Houghton Regis listings are booked on 70% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of £39 adds about £388 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge £76 a night or more, against a median of £39. 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 £630 a year.
- Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about £1,800, against £610 in January, 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 £980 a month, against £530 for the average one.
