Revenue

How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Buffalo?

Gross bookings per Buffalo listing averaged $12,926 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Wyoming average: $42,430), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.

In a typical year, the average Buffalo listing brings in $3,200 in July, its best month, and $1,080 in February, its slowest. January runs within 3% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year. 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 4.1 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.

  • Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,310+ a month, about 3.3 times the typical property.
  • Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,620 or more, roughly $1,300 a month above the median.
  • Typical properties (median) earn about $1,320 a month.
  • Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $625 or less, about half 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.

July earns about three times what February does

Profit

Is an Airbnb in Buffalo Profitable?

Yes, when it's run well. The average Buffalo Airbnb took in $12,926 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $730 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 $1,460 a month.

Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,060 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $820 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $630 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 Buffalo's Top Earners Get There

  • More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Buffalo listings are booked on 44% or more of their nights, against 25% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $150 adds about $1,500 in bookings.
  • Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $220 a night or more, against a median of $150. 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 $1,190 a year.
  • Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,200, against $1,080 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
  • Reviews that stand out. Buffalo listings average 4.84 stars, and 61% 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 $2,130 a month, against $1,080 for the average one.

Permits

Airbnb Permits and Registration in Buffalo

None of the 77 active listings in Buffalo 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 Buffalo.

A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $1,460 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
