Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Southfield?

Gross bookings per Southfield listing averaged $15,695 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Michigan average: $34,144), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Southfield listing brings in $3,210 in July, its best month, and $1,070 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,400+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,980 or more, roughly $1,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,500 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $713 or less, about half 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 Southfield Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Southfield Airbnb took in $15,695 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $830 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 $1,670 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,880 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $990 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $720 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 Southfield's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Southfield listings are booked on 63% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $130 adds about $1,300 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $195 a night or more, against a median of $130. 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 $1,380 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,210, against $1,070 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Southfield listings average 4.78 stars, and 22% 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 $2,600 a month, against $1,310 for the average one.

Nightly rates

  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $195 or more, about $65 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $130 a night.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $177 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Southfield?

RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Southfield it averaged $70 over the past year, from about $38 in a typical February to about $103 in a typical July.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $135+ per open night, about 2.9 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $91 or more, about $45 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $47 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $23 or less, about half of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Southfield

None of the 60 active listings in Southfield 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 Southfield.
