Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Gilford?

Gross bookings per Gilford listing averaged $37,701 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New Hampshire average: $34,318), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Gilford listing brings in $9,960 in July, its best month, and $2,490 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 47% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,730+ a month, about 2.9 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $5,880 or more, roughly $2,500 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $3,380 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,800 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.

July earns about four times what April does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Gilford Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Gilford Airbnb took in $37,701 in the 12 months to September 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 $3,440 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,870 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,360 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,690 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 Gilford's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gilford listings are booked on 48% or more of their nights, against 30% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $345 adds about $3,470 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $465 a night or more, against a median of $345. 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 $3,280 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $9,960, against $2,490 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Gilford listings average 4.87 stars, and 59% 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 $5,460 a month, against $3,140 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Gilford

None of the 215 active listings in Gilford 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 Gilford.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Gilford?

Is Airbnb profitable in Gilford?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Gilford Airbnb grossed $37,701 in the 12 months to September 2026, 10% above the New Hampshire average of $34,318. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $23,501 a year (about $1,960 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $3,440 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
