Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Elyria?

Gross bookings per Elyria listing averaged $18,363 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Ohio average: $27,235), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Elyria listing brings in $3,950 in July, its best month, and $1,200 in February, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 39% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across Elyria's 28 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,230+ a month, about 2.4 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,860 or more, roughly $1,100 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,740 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,040 or less, about 60% 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.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Elyria Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Elyria Airbnb took in $18,363 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $960 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 $1,600 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,360 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,160 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $830 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 Elyria's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Elyria listings are booked on 62% or more of their nights, against 44% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $120 adds about $1,190 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $180 a night or more, against a median of $120. 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 $1,600 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,950, against $1,200 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Elyria listings average 4.81 stars, and 39% 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 $2,520 a month, against $1,530 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Elyria

None of the 28 active listings in Elyria 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 Elyria.
