Profit
Is an Airbnb in Decatur Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Decatur Airbnb took in $29,539 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,450 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 $2,780 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,450 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,240 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 Decatur's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Decatur listings are booked on 55% or more of their nights, against 39% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,950 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $310 a night or more, against a median of $195. 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 $2,510 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $4,930, against $1,650 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Decatur listings average 4.85 stars, and 61% 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 $4,650 a month, against $2,460 for the average one.
