McPherson Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in McPherson Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average McPherson Airbnb took in $20,956 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,150 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 $1,860 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,840 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,300 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $990 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 McPherson's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of McPherson listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 45% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $135 adds about $1,340 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $155 a night or more, against a median of $135. 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 $1,910 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about $2,500, against $1,390 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. McPherson listings average 4.92 stars, and 80% 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 $2,800 a month, against $1,750 for the average one.
