How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Pāhoa?

In a typical year, the average Pāhoa listing brings in $3,800 in January, its best month, and $2,740 in October, its slowest. September runs within 2% of October, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The swing is mild: the best month earns about 39% more than the slowest.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,070 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.

January 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in December 2025 and bookings in February 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pāhoa Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pāhoa Airbnb took in $28,534 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,540 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 $2,730 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,030 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,790 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,330 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 Pāhoa's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pāhoa listings are booked on 74% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,380 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $205 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $2,550 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, January brings the average listing about $3,800, against $2,740 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pāhoa listings average 4.85 stars, and 54% 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 $4,180 a month, against $2,380 for the average one.
