Gross bookings per Mountain View listing averaged $28,958 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Hawaii average: $61,223), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mountain View listing brings in $3,430 in July, its best month, and $1,930 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 29% 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 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
July earns about 1.8 times what September does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in January 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mountain View Airbnb took in $28,958 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,450 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 $2,260 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,240 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,800 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,240 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.

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 Mountain View it averaged $94 over the past year, from about $64 in a typical September to about $111 in a typical July.

Permits
19% of the 62 active listings in Mountain View display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Mountain View.
Neighborhoods
AirROI's area guide picks four Mountain View neighborhoods that draw short-term rental guests, led by Kauai, Mauna Kea and Hamakua Coast. The picks reflect guest appeal, not earnings data or permit eligibility, so check local permit rules for a specific address before buying.
