Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in McGregor?

Gross bookings per McGregor listing averaged $16,641 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Iowa average: $23,238), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average McGregor listing brings in $3,550 in July, its best month, and $505 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 42% 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,010+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,620 or more, roughly $1,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,530 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $775 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in McGregor Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average McGregor Airbnb took in $16,641 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $900 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 $1,560 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,810 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,050 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $780 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 McGregor's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of McGregor listings are booked on 45% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,950 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $280 a night or more, against a median of $195. 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 $1,480 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,550, against $505 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. McGregor listings average 4.92 stars, and 81% 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 $2,380 a month, against $1,390 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in McGregor

None of the 31 active listings in McGregor display a registration, permit or license number. That 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.
