Sidney Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the April 2026 data.
July led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in February and bookings in August, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sidney Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sidney Airbnb took in $33,604 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,960 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 $2,830 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,880 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,700 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 Sidney's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sidney listings are booked on 46% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $305 adds about $3,030 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $475 a night or more, against a median of $305. 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 $3,070 a year.
- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $9,820, against $1,570 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sidney listings average 4.92 stars, and 61% 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 $4,020 a month, against $2,800 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Sidney
