In a typical year, the average Sneads Ferry listing brings in $5,510 in July, its best month, and $1,390 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 44% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,230 or less, about 56% of the median.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Sneads Ferry Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Sneads Ferry Airbnb took in $22,082 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,110 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 $1,800 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,270 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,380 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $950 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 Sneads Ferry's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sneads Ferry listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 33% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $225 adds about $2,240 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $300 a night or more, against a median of $225. 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 $1,880 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $5,510, against $1,390 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Sneads Ferry listings average 4.90 stars, and 72% 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 $2,950 a month, against $1,840 for the average one.
