Airbnb market data · 202612 months to September 2026
The average Airbnb in Brighton brought in $15,488 over the 12 months through September 2026, about 60% less than the Vermont average of $38,492.
The short answer
Rates and bookings both trail the Vermont average. Listings averaged $241 a night and were booked on 32% of available nights, against $410 and 37% for the Vermont average.
Timing matters: in February, usually the best month, the average listing earns about three times as much as in April, usually the slowest. With only 33 active listings, a few bookings can reorder the months.
With 33 active listings, Brighton is the 74th-largest of 145 Vermont markets AirROI tracks. From a year earlier, average revenue rose 9% while the number of active listings grew 10%.

Gross bookings per Brighton listing averaged $15,488 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Vermont average: $38,492), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Brighton listing brings in $4,010 in February, its best month, and $1,290 in April, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 37% 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 2.9 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 Brighton Airbnb took in $15,488 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $840 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 $1,360 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,720 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $980 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $720 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.

The average nightly rate in Brighton, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $241 over the past year, about 41% below the Vermont average of $410 and about 25% below the U.S. average of $320. Averaged month by month over the past two years, rates peak in June and July at about $235 and bottom out in September and November at about $210.

The 12-month ADR of $241 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 Brighton it averaged $80 over the past year, from about $43 in a typical April to about $143 in a typical February.

Permits
6% of the 33 active listings in Brighton display a registration, permit or license number. A low share 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 Brighton.
