The average Day Valley listing brought in $7,800 in July, its best month, and $2,490 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,050 or less, about 62% of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Day Valley Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Day Valley Airbnb took in $30,774 in the 12 months to September 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,870 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 $2,990 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 Day Valley's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Day Valley listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 48% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,970 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $295 a night or more, against a median of $195. 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 $3,080 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $7,800, against $2,490 in February, 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 $4,070 a month, against $2,560 for the average one.
