Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Hoover?

Gross bookings per Hoover listing averaged $19,349 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Alabama average: $34,976), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Hoover listing brings in $2,610 in June, its best month, and $1,480 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 30% 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 3.6 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,530+ a month, about 2.7 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,030 or more, roughly $1,400 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,670 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $826 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 1.8 times what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Hoover Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Hoover Airbnb took in $19,349 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,080 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 $1,980 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,640 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,220 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $930 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 HOA or condo fees.

How Hoover's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Hoover listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 40% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $130 adds about $1,320 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $190 a night or more, against a median of $130. 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 $1,770 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about $2,610, against $1,480 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Hoover listings average 4.87 stars, and 57% 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 $2,930 a month, against $1,610 for the average one.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Hoover?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Hoover it averaged $64 over the past year, from about $48 in a typical January to about $87 in a typical June.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $137+ per open night, about 2.3 times the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Hoover

None of the 44 active listings in Hoover display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Hoover.

Is Airbnb profitable in Hoover?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Hoover Airbnb grossed $19,349 in the 12 months to September 2026, 45% below the Alabama average of $34,976. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $12,979 a year (about $1,080 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,980 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
