How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Bel Air?
Gross bookings per Bel Air listing averaged $24,621 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Maryland average: $31,882), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Bel Air listing brings in $4,260 in July, its best month, and $1,960 in February, its slowest. August runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Bel Air's 24 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,530+ a month, about 2.2 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,590 or more, roughly $1,700 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,920 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,840 or less, about two-thirds 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Bel Air Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Bel Air Airbnb took in $24,621 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,300 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 $2,060 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,620 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,520 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,120 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 Bel Air's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bel Air listings are booked on 71% or more of their nights, against 54% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $125 adds about $1,260 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $195 a night or more, against a median of $125. 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 $2,200 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,260, against $1,960 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Bel Air listings average 4.88 stars, and 63% 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 $3,220 a month, against $2,050 for the average one.
