How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Ypsilanti?

In a typical year, the average Ypsilanti listing brings in $3,530 in August, its best month, and $1,680 in January, its slowest. July runs within 3% of August, so either can come out on top in a given year. 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 3.9 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,100+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Ypsilanti Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Ypsilanti Airbnb took in $22,791 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,220 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 $2,320 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,330 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,420 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,050 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 Ypsilanti's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Ypsilanti listings are booked on 70% or more of their nights, against 46% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,480 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $215 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $2,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $3,530, against $1,680 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Ypsilanti listings average 4.86 stars, and 52% 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 $3,570 a month, against $1,900 for the average one.
