Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Chama?

Gross bookings per Chama listing averaged $22,877 over the 12 months to September 2026 (New Mexico average: $29,323), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Chama listing brings in $4,050 in October, its best month, and $1,250 in March, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 3.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,860+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,990 or more, roughly $1,800 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,240 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,260 or less, about 56% 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.

October earns about 3.2 times what March does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Chama Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Chama Airbnb took in $22,877 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 $2,200 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,310 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,410 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 Chama's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Chama listings are booked on 49% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $205 adds about $2,050 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $300 a night or more, against a median of $205. 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 $2,060 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about $4,050, against $1,250 in March, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Chama listings average 4.91 stars, and 66% 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 $3,400 a month, against $1,910 for the average one.

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Chama?

The average nightly rate in Chama, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $262 over the past year, about the same as the New Mexico average ($260) and about 18% below the U.S. average of $320.

  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $300 or more, about $95 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $205 a night.

June rates run 11% above April's

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

The 12-month ADR of $262 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 Chama?

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 Chama it averaged $97 over the past year, from about $40 in a typical March to about $131 in a typical October.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $176+ per open night, about 2.2 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $146 or more, about $65 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $81 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $53 or less, about two-thirds of the median.

October RevPAR is about 3.2 times March's

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Chama

None of the 47 active listings in Chama 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 Chama.
