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.
