Revenue
Gross bookings per Baxter listing averaged $28,876 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Tennessee average: $42,043), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Baxter listing brings in $4,900 in July, its best month, and $1,650 in January, its slowest. 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 3.6 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.

Profit
Yes, when it's run well. The average Baxter Airbnb took in $28,876 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,480 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 $2,710 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $3,650 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,790 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,270 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.

Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Baxter, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $242 over the past year, about 24% below the Tennessee and U.S. averages (both about $320). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July at about $240 and bottom out in March and April at about $210.

The 12-month ADR of $242 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.
RevPAR, or revenue per available night, divides a listing's income by every night it was open to book, so it rises with both price and bookings. In Baxter it averaged $100 over the past year, from about $53 in a typical January to about $158 in a typical July.
A small group of listings earns several times more per open night than the rest.
