Revenue
Gross bookings per Newark listing averaged $18,733 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New Jersey average: $34,441), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Newark listing brings in $3,750 in June, its best month, and $1,260 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 five times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.
June earns about three times what January does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in December 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Newark Airbnb took in $18,733 in the 12 months to September 2026, 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 $2,170 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,190 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $900 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.

The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 4.3 times as often as the bottom quarter.
September is usually the busiest month in Newark, January the quietest
Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 38% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Newark, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $182 over the past year, about 47% below the New Jersey average of $345 and about 43% below the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in June and July at about $200 and bottom out in October and November at about $140.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about five times the rate of the bottom quarter.
July rates run 45% above November's
Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month ADR of $182 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
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 Newark it averaged $71 over the past year, from about $41 in a typical January to about $125 in a typical June.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.

Permits
18% of the 1,432 active listings in Newark display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Newark.

Listings in Newark with arcade games earned about 3.4 times as much a year, on average, as those without: $60,300 against $17,900. The gap is smaller for a ping pong table (about 2.6 times as much) and a themed room (about 2.6 times as much).
