Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Huntsville?

Gross bookings per Huntsville listing averaged $13,408 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 Huntsville listing brings in $2,700 in October, its best month, and $1,370 in January, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 32% 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 3.2 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,030+ a month, about three times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,580 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,360 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $790 or less, about 58% 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 Huntsville Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Huntsville Airbnb took in $13,408 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $710 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 $1,370 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,900 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $870 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $610 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 Huntsville's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Huntsville listings are booked on 35% or more of their nights, against 21% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $195 adds about $1,970 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $235 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 $1,150 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, October brings the average listing about $2,700, against $1,370 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Huntsville listings average 4.88 stars, and 36% 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 $2,120 a month, against $1,120 for the average one.

Occupancy

What Is the Airbnb Occupancy Rate in Huntsville?

Nightly rates

How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Huntsville?

The average nightly rate in Huntsville, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $239 over the past year, about 25% below the Tennessee and U.S. averages (both about $320).

The top 10% charge about 1.9 times the rate of the bottom quarter.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) charge $310+ a night, about 1.6 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) charge $235 or more, about $40 above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) charge about $195 a night.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $239 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

What Is the RevPAR for Airbnb in Huntsville?

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 Huntsville it averaged $53 over the past year, from about $44 in a typical January to about $87 in a typical October.

Per open night, by tier:

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $94+ per open night, about 2.3 times the median.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $65 or more, about $25 a night above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $40 per open night.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $29 or less, about three-quarters of the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Huntsville

None of the 47 active listings in Huntsville 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.

Registration, permit, zoning and occupancy-tax rules vary by address and change often, so confirm them with the city or county before buying or listing in Huntsville.
