How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Waterford?
Gross bookings per Waterford listing averaged $38,131 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region average: $47,159), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Waterford listing brings in $8,730 in July, its best month, and $2,380 in January, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads August by 5%, and January sits just 4% below February, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 41% 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 3.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $9,360+ a month, about 3.2 times the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Waterford Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Waterford Airbnb took in $38,131 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,100 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 $4,070 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,130 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,360 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,810 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 Waterford's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Waterford listings are booked on 59% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $240 adds about $2,380 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $380 a night or more, against a median of $240. 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 $3,500 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $8,730, against $2,380 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Waterford listings average 4.86 stars, and 59% 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 $6,090 a month, against $3,180 for the average one.
