Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Albany?

Gross bookings per Albany listing averaged $25,775 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Kentucky average: $27,730), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Albany listing brings in $4,810 in July, its best month, and $1,820 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $7,430+ a month, about 4.5 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,430 or more, roughly $2,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,650 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,010 or less, about 61% 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 Albany Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Albany Airbnb took in $25,775 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,330 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 $3,620 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,620 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,140 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 Albany's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Albany listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,960 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $340 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 $2,230 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,810, against $1,820 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Albany listings average 4.88 stars, and 57% 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 $5,760 a month, against $2,150 for the average one.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Albany?

The average nightly rate in Albany, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $283 over the past year, about 13% above the Kentucky average of $250 and about 12% below the U.S. average of $320.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $560+ a night, about 2.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $340 or more, about $150 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $195 a night.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $283 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Albany?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Albany it averaged $100 over the past year, from about $65 in a typical February to about $155 in a typical July.

A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $214+ per open night, about 3.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $129 or more, about $70 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $59 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $44 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Albany

None of the 35 active listings in Albany 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.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Albany.
