Profit
Is an Airbnb in City of Lackawanna Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average City of Lackawanna Airbnb took in $9,753 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $590 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 $910 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.

- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of City of Lackawanna listings are booked on 41% or more of their nights, against 22% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,500 in bookings.

- Open for the busy months. July brought the average listing about $3,240, against $494 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
