In a typical year, the average Priest River listing brings in $7,720 in July, its best month, and $1,590 in October, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 47% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,780 or more, roughly $2,200 a month above the median.

  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,250 or less, about half of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Priest River Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Priest River Airbnb took in $27,634 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,480 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 $2,720 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,340 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,760 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,270 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 Priest River's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Priest River listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 36% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $240 adds about $2,390 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $350 a night or more, against a median of $240. 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 $2,430 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $7,720, against $1,590 in October, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Priest River listings average 4.91 stars, and 78% 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 $4,190 a month, against $2,300 for the average one.
