Profit
Is an Airbnb in Brownville Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Brownville Airbnb took in $19,146 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $990 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 $1,680 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,480 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $850 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 Brownville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Brownville listings are booked on 47% or more of their nights, against 28% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $160 adds about $1,610 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $230 a night or more, against a median of $160. 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 $1,670 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,360, against $1,260 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Brownville listings average 4.90 stars, and 76% 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 $2,680 a month, against $1,600 for the average one.
