In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 3.3 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Alexandria Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Alexandria Airbnb took in $41,994 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,270 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 $3,920 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,370 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $2,630 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,950 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 Alexandria's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Alexandria listings are booked on 72% or more of their nights, against 51% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $235 adds about $2,350 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $360 a night or more, against a median of $235. 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 $3,760 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, June brings the average listing about $6,530, against $3,180 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Alexandria listings average 4.79 stars, and 47% 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 $5,990 a month, against $3,500 for the average one.

The top-grossing listing, a private room at $3,616 a night (about 6.9 times the $525 that puts a listing in the top 10% here), is left out below: a price like that usually means it covers several rooms or units, or that it is misrecorded. Leaving it out, the top earner in Alexandria, a private room, took in $315,000 over the past year, about 7.5 times the city's average of $42,000.
