Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Gerton?

Gross bookings per Gerton listing averaged $29,530 over the 12 months to October 2026 (North Carolina average: $34,622), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Gerton listing brings in $4,320 in July, its best month, and $2,350 in April, its slowest. January runs within 2% of April, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across Gerton's 22 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,980+ a month, about 2.6 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $4,410 or more, roughly $1,700 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,690 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,460 or less, about 54% 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 1.8 times what April does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Gerton Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Gerton Airbnb took in $29,530 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,420 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 $2,350 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,810 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,220 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 Gerton's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Gerton listings are booked on 57% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $215 adds about $2,160 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $295 a night or more, against a median of $215. 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 $2,470 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,320, against $2,350 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Gerton listings average 4.90 stars, and 55% 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 $4,030 a month, against $2,460 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Gerton
