Profit
Is an Airbnb in San Diego Country Estates Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average San Diego Country Estates Airbnb took in $16,103 in the 12 months to August 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $980 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 $2,490 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.
