Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ballenger Creek Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ballenger Creek Airbnb took in $17,144 in the 12 months to June 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,040 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 $1,530 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 Ballenger Creek's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ballenger Creek listings are booked on 69% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $110 adds about $1,090 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $155 a night or more, against a median of $110. 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 $1,710 a year.
- Open for the busy months. May brought the average listing about $2,390, against $1,290 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
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 $2,080 a month, against $1,430 for the average one.
