How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Blackstone?
Gross bookings per Blackstone listing averaged $12,706 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Virginia average: $31,211), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Blackstone listing brings in $2,890 in July, its best month, and $1,380 in February, its slowest. Both ends are close calls: July leads June by 2%, and February sits just 4% below December, so either pair can swap places in a given year. The three strongest months bring in 34% of a full year's revenue, where an even calendar would give any three months 25%.
Across Blackstone's 27 active listings, monthly revenue by tier:
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $4,440+ a month, about 3.7 times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $2,680 or more, roughly $1,500 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $1,200 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $551 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.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Blackstone Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Blackstone Airbnb took in $12,706 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $630 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 $1,430 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $1,910 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $790 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $540 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 Blackstone's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Blackstone listings are booked on 50% or more of their nights, against 31% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $115 adds about $1,150 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $200 a night or more, against a median of $115. 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 $1,080 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $2,890, against $1,380 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Blackstone listings average 4.91 stars, and 44% 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 $2,370 a month, against $1,060 for the average one.
