Scott Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in October 2025 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, March is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Scott Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Scott Airbnb took in $16,244 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $840 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 $1,390 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,000 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $720 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 Scott's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Scott listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,410 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $170 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $1,440 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $2,180, against $1,190 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Scott listings average 4.92 stars, and 70% 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 $2,210 a month, against $1,350 for the average one.
