Profit

Is an Airbnb in Bellefontaine Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Bellefontaine Airbnb took in $19,541 in the 12 months to April 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,140 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 $2,100 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $930 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,220 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $990 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 Bellefontaine's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Bellefontaine listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $145 adds about $1,470 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $170 a night or more, against a median of $145. 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 $1,860 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. June brought the average listing about $2,900, against $1,130 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Bellefontaine listings average 4.88 stars, and 67% 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 $2,960 a month, against $1,630 for the average one.
