Louisville Airbnb Data by Month
Latest 12 months in the September 2026 data. September's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to August.
May 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in July 2026 and bookings in June 2026, so the best-paying month is not always the busiest or the priciest. Across the past two years, July is usually the strongest month.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Louisville Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Louisville Airbnb took in $27,258 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 $2,600 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,840 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,710 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.

How Louisville's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Louisville listings are booked on 64% or more of their nights, against 43% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $200 adds about $1,990 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $290 a night or more, against a median of $200. 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 $2,440 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,900, against $1,500 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Louisville listings average 4.91 stars, and 68% 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 $3,970 a month, against $2,270 for the average one.

Nightly rates
How Much Does an Airbnb Cost per Night in Louisville?
The average nightly rate in Louisville, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $226 over the past year, about 29% below the Tennessee and U.S. averages (both about $320). Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in July and August at about $225 and bottom out in September and November at about $200.

- Strong performers (top 25%) charge $290 or more, about $90 above the median.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026
Monthly average $211 $232 $176
The 12-month ADR of $226 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 Louisville?
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 Louisville it averaged $116 over the past year, from about $48 in a typical January to about $126 in a typical July.
Per open night, by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $223+ per open night, about 2.5 times the median.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $145 or more, about $55 a night above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $91 per open night.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $56 or less, about 62% of the median.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Louisville
None of the 31 active listings in Louisville 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 Louisville.
