Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Cosby?
Gross bookings per Cosby listing averaged $29,111 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 Cosby listing brings in $4,180 in July, its best month, and $1,550 in February, its slowest. June runs within 5% of July, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% 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 three times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $6,590+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,720 or more, roughly $1,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $2,230 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,230 or less, about 55% 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 Cosby Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Cosby Airbnb took in $29,111 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,400 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 $2,350 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,980 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,810 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,200 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 Cosby's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Cosby listings are booked on 58% or more of their nights, against 38% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $185 adds about $1,840 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $270 a night or more, against a median of $185. 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 $2,410 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,180, against $1,550 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Cosby listings average 4.80 stars, and 43% 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 $4,050 a month, against $2,430 for the average one.
