Gross bookings per Brewer listing averaged $47,727 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Maine average: $37,768), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Brewer listing brings in $5,900 in February, its best month, and $3,120 in November, its slowest. September runs within 1% of November, so either can be the slowest 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 four times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
February earns about 1.9 times what November does

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
February 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

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 Brewer listing earns about $2,650 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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Brewer Airbnb took in $47,727 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,500 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 $5,160 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $5,090 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,920 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,140 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.

The average nightly rate in Brewer, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $311 over the past year, about 17% below the Maine average of $375 and about the same as the U.S. average ($320).

The 12-month ADR of $311 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
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 Brewer it averaged $168 over the past year, from about $104 in a typical May to about $211 in a typical February.

Permits
None of the 30 active listings in Brewer 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.
