Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Piedmont?

Gross bookings per Piedmont listing averaged $20,761 over the 12 months to October 2025 (South Carolina average: $37,525), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

The average Piedmont listing brought in $3,090 in September, its best month, and $1,910 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 29% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.

Across Piedmont's 18 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,460+ a month, about 1.8 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,670 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,440 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,020 or less, about 42% 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 Piedmont Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Piedmont Airbnb took in $20,761 in the 12 months to October 2025, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,260 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 $1,910 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 Piedmont's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Piedmont listings are booked on 73% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $145 adds about $1,430 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $210 a night or more, against a median of $145. 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 $2,080 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. September brought the average listing about $3,090, against $1,910 in April, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.

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 $2,600 a month, against $1,730 for the average one.
