How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Sumter?

In a typical year, the average Sumter listing brings in $3,160 in July, its best month, and $2,140 in February, its slowest. January runs within 4% of February, so either can be the slowest in a given year.

In a typical month, a top-quarter listing earns at least 2.7 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $5,020+ a month, about twice the typical property.

Profit
Is an Airbnb in Sumter Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Sumter Airbnb took in $22,816 in the 12 months to October 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $1,200 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 $1,780 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $2,350 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $1,400 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $1,030 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 Sumter's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Sumter listings are booked on 76% or more of their nights, against 52% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $140 adds about $1,400 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $185 a night or more, against a median of $140. 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 $2,050 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, July brings the average listing about $3,160, against $2,140 in February, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Sumter listings average 4.85 stars, and 52% 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 $2,790 a month, against $1,900 for the average one.
