How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Lima?
Gross bookings per Lima listing averaged $9,484 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 Lima listing brings in $2,000 in August, its best month, and $1,170 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: August leads June by 1%, and February sits just 5% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 32% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $3,560+ a month, about 2.8 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,330 or more, roughly $1,100 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,280 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $661 or less, about half 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.

Lima Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in August 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, August is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Lima Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lima Airbnb took in $9,484 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $530 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 $970 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $850 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $600 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $460 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 Lima's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Lima listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 37% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $100 adds about $1,010 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $135 a night or more, against a median of $100. 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 $860 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, August brings the average listing about $2,000, against $1,170 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Lima listings average 4.83 stars, and 42% 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 $1,440 a month, against $790 for the average one.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Lima

Lima Airbnb FAQ

For one home, enter its address and bedroom count in the Airbnb income calculator: it compares the home with similar listings nearby.
What is the average Airbnb occupancy rate in Lima?
Listings in Lima were booked on 37% of available nights over the past year. That compares with 41% for the Ohio average. September is usually the busiest month.
How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Lima?
The average booked night in Lima cost $118 before fees. Half of listings charge between $70 and $135, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Lima?
None of the active Lima listings display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply, so confirm registration, permit and occupancy-tax rules with the city or county before buying.
Is Airbnb profitable in Lima?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Lima Airbnb grossed $9,484 in the 12 months to September 2026, 65% below the Ohio average of $27,235. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $6,324 a year (about $530 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $970 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb estimator.
