Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Spencer?

Gross bookings per Spencer listing averaged $25,124 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 Spencer listing brings in $3,750 in June, its best month, and $1,510 in January, its slowest. July runs within 2% of June, so either can come out on top in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 35% 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 2.4 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,830+ a month, about 2.1 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $3,520 or more, roughly $1,200 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $2,300 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $1,440 or less, about 63% 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.

June earns about 2.5 times what January does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Spencer Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Spencer Airbnb took in $25,124 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,230 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 $1,900 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,010 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,570 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,060 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 Spencer's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Spencer listings are booked on 60% or more of their nights, against 42% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $175 adds about $1,750 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $240 a night or more, against a median of $175. 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 $2,110 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about $3,750, against $1,510 in January, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Spencer listings average 4.87 stars, and 52% 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 $3,210 a month, against $2,090 for the average one.

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

The 12-month ADR of $229 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 Spencer?

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 Spencer it averaged $86 over the past year, from about $49 in a typical January to about $125 in a typical June.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $138+ per open night, about twice the median.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Spencer

None of the 42 active listings in Spencer 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 Spencer.
