In a typical year, the average Pella listing brings in $3,660 in August, its best month, and $1,250 in February, its slowest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Pella Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pella Airbnb took in $23,477 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,260 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 $2,120 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,450 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,080 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 Pella's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pella listings are booked on 56% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $180 adds about $1,810 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $235 a night or more, against a median of $180. 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 $2,110 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $3,660, against $1,250 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Pella listings average 4.90 stars, and 75% 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 $3,270 a month, against $1,960 for the average one.

Is Airbnb profitable in Pella?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Pella Airbnb grossed $23,477 in the 12 months to September 2026, in line with the Iowa average.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $2,120 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
