Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Oakland?

Gross bookings per Oakland listing averaged $27,001 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Maine average: $40,509), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Oakland listing brings in $6,590 in August, its best month, and $2,420 in February, its slowest. July runs within 4% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 39% 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 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,570+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,260 or more, roughly $1,900 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,340 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,270 or less, about 54% 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.

August earns about 2.7 times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Oakland Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Oakland Airbnb took in $27,001 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,460 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 $2,690 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,420 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,670 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,260 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 Oakland's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Oakland listings are booked on 52% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $245 adds about $2,460 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $335 a night or more, against a median of $245. 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 $2,460 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $6,590, against $2,420 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Oakland listings average 4.86 stars, and 65% 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 $4,090 a month, against $2,250 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Oakland

None of the 48 active listings in Oakland 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 Oakland.
