Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Fayetteville brought in $19,150 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 54% less than the Tennessee average of $42,043.
The short answer
Rates and bookings both trail the Tennessee average. Listings averaged $168 a night and were booked on 38% of available nights, against $320 and 42% for the Tennessee average.
Timing matters: in June, usually the best month, the average listing earns about twice as much as in January, usually the slowest. With only 37 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 37 active listings, Fayetteville is the 87th-largest of 167 Tennessee markets AirROI tracks.

Gross bookings per Fayetteville listing averaged $19,150 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 Fayetteville listing brings in $2,630 in June, its best month, and $1,320 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 31% 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 2.8 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 Fayetteville Airbnb took in $19,150 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,000 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 $1,560 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,140 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,180 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $860 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 Fayetteville, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $168 over the past year, about 48% below the Tennessee and U.S. averages (both about $320). In a typical year, rates peak in June and July at about $175 and bottom out in September and November at about $145.
The top 10% charge about 1.9 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

The 12-month ADR of $168 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 Fayetteville it averaged $67 over the past year, from about $43 in a typical January to about $88 in a typical June.

Permits
None of the 37 active listings in Fayetteville 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.
