Ozark Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the May 2026 data.
July led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in April and bookings in October, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month. *May 2026 is the latest month and looks incomplete: its occupancy sits well below the calendar months either side of it, as the latest month often does before late bookings are recorded. It may be revised and is not counted as a best or worst month.
The typical Ozark listing earns about $931 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb calculator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ozark Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ozark Airbnb took in $9,611 in the 12 months to May 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $590 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 $1,040 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $600 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $640 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $520 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 Ozark's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ozark listings are booked on 35% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $120 adds about $1,220 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $160 a night or more, against a median of $120. 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 $900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $2,100, against $577 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ozark listings average 4.96 stars, and 52% 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 $1,390 a month, against $800 for the average one.
