In a typical year, the average Mason listing brings in $7,000 in July, its best month, and $2,690 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 38% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mason Airbnb took in $35,750 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,870 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 $3,290 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,520 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,250 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,610 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.

Permits
