Gross bookings per Independence listing averaged $23,901 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Oregon average: $35,882), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Independence listing brings in $3,580 in July, its best month, and $1,580 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads June by 4%, and February sits just 1% below January, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 4.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
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.

Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in August 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Independence Airbnb took in $23,901 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,350 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 $2,210 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,820 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,500 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,170 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.
