Gross bookings per Mountain View listing averaged $31,947 over the 12 months to October 2026 (Hawaii average: $64,271), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Mountain View listing brings in $3,610 in July, its best month, and $2,420 in October, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads January by 4%, and October sits just 1% below November, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 28% 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 2.7 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.
July earns about 1.5 times what October does
Average revenue per active listing, by month, October 2024 to September 2026
Each point is one month as recorded, averaged over the listings active in it. The best and slowest months in the text average each calendar month over the past two years, so they can differ from the highest and lowest points here.
Latest 12 months in the October 2026 data. October's figures are still coming in, so the rows run to September.
June 2026 led on revenue. Nightly rates peaked in September 2026 and bookings in January 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
Yes, when it's run well. The average Mountain View Airbnb took in $31,947 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,600 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 $2,420 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $4,380 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,960 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,370 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.

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 Mountain View it averaged $104 over the past year, from about $78 in a typical October to about $116 in a typical July.
