Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in New Haven?

Gross bookings per New Haven listing averaged $19,105 over the 12 months to September 2026 (South Central Connecticut Planning Region average: $26,349), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average New Haven listing brings in $3,610 in July, its best month, and $1,690 in January, its slowest. February runs within 4% of January, so either can be the slowest in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 33% 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 3.8 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,440+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,460 or more, roughly $1,600 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,870 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $904 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.

July earns about 2.1 times what January does

New Haven 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.

July 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in May 2026 and bookings in October 2025, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest.

Profit

Is an Airbnb in New Haven Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average New Haven Airbnb took in $19,105 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,050 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 $1,970 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,810 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,200 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $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 New Haven's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of New Haven listings are booked on 65% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $130 adds about $1,320 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $210 a night or more, against a median of $130. 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 $1,730 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,610, against $1,690 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. New Haven listings average 4.78 stars, and 33% 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 $2,950 a month, against $1,590 for the average one.

  • Typical properties (median) earn about $57 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $29 or less, about half of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in New Haven

None of the 635 active listings in New Haven display a registration, permit or license number. That doesn't mean no rules apply: some places don't ask hosts to show a number on the listing, and listing data doesn't capture every scheme.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in New Haven.
