Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Pikeville?

Gross bookings per Pikeville listing averaged $16,667 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 Pikeville listing brings in $2,460 in July, its best month, and $1,560 in December, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 2%, and December sits just 3% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 31% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,810+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,780 or more, roughly $1,000 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,760 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $873 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.

July earns about 1.6 times what December does

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. 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.

The typical Pikeville listing earns about $1,760 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 Pikeville Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Pikeville Airbnb took in $16,667 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $960 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 $1,530 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,150 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,060 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $830 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 Pikeville's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Pikeville listings are booked on 61% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $135 adds about $1,330 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $175 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 $1,550 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,460, against $1,560 in December, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Pikeville listings average 4.83 stars, and 51% 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 $2,200 a month, against $1,390 for the average one.

The 12-month ADR of $159 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 Pikeville?

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $95+ per open night, about 1.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $78 or more, about $20 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $58 per open night.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Pikeville

None of the 45 active listings in Pikeville 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 Pikeville.
