Revenue
How Much Do Airbnb Hosts Make in Scottsdale?
Gross bookings per Scottsdale listing averaged $55,542 over the 12 months to September 2026 (Arizona average: $35,793), before cleaning, platform and management costs and taxes.
In a typical year, the average Scottsdale listing brings in $10,900 in March, its best month, and $3,920 in September, its slowest. The three strongest months bring in 36% 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 3.5 times as much as a bottom-quarter one.
- Best-in-class properties (top 10%) earn $13,900+ a month, about three times the typical property.
- Strong performers (top 25%) earn $8,300 or more, roughly $3,800 a month above the median.
- Typical properties (median) earn about $4,540 a month.
- Entry-level properties (bottom 25%) earn $2,360 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.

Averages per active listing in each month. Highlighted: the highest-revenue month of the 12. RevPAR is the month's revenue spread over its nights, booked or not. Booking lead time is the days between booking and check-in, and length of stay the nights per booking, for stays in that month.
The typical Scottsdale listing earns about $4,540 a month, but one property can land well above or below that. The Airbnb estimator gives a range for a specific address, built from the comparable listings around it.
Profit
Is an Airbnb in Scottsdale Profitable?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Scottsdale Airbnb took in $55,542 in the 12 months to September 2026, and run by its owner at everyday costs, about $2,940 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 $5,430 a month.
Cleaning it yourself keeps the $6,560 a year guests pay in cleaning fees, for about $3,490 a month. Handing the listing to a co-host at about 10% of nightly bookings still leaves about $2,530 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 Scottsdale's Top Earners Get There
- More nights booked. The busiest quarter of Scottsdale listings are booked on 70% or more of their nights, against 50% for the median listing. Ten more booked nights a year at the median rate of $275 adds about $2,740 in bookings.
- Prices that follow demand. Ranked by price, the top quarter charge $455 a night or more, against a median of $275. 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 $4,900 a year.
- Open for the busy months. In a typical year, March brings the average listing about $10,900, against $3,920 in September, so a calendar that is open and full in the busy months carries the year.
- Reviews that stand out. Scottsdale listings average 4.84 stars, and 50% 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 $8,460 a month, against $4,630 for the average one.

Average nightly rate (ADR), by month, September 2024 to August 2026

The 12-month ADR of $404 averages each listing's own rate across its whole year; the monthly points average listings month by month, so the two differ.

Permits
Airbnb Permits and Registration in Scottsdale
Yes, with a City of Scottsdale short-term/vacation rental license ($250 a year) for each property; Arizona law bars the city from banning rentals, capping nights or requiring you to live on site.
None of the 4,482 active listings in Scottsdale 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.
The permit, operating limits and taxes on a stay are set out in the Scottsdale Airbnb regulations, each rule linked to its official source and checked October 2026.

How much does an Airbnb cost per night in Scottsdale?
The average booked night in Scottsdale cost $404 before fees. Half of listings charge between $170 and $455, so bedroom count and location move the price more than the average suggests.
Do you need a permit for an Airbnb in Scottsdale?
Yes, with a City of Scottsdale short-term/vacation rental license for each property ($250 a year); Arizona law means there is no owner-occupancy rule, night cap or minimum stay, but the city requires $500,000 of liability coverage, neighbor notice, a 24-hour emergency contact and safety measures. The Scottsdale Airbnb regulations set out the permit, its cost, the taxes on a stay and the operating limits, each linked to its official source.
Is Airbnb profitable in Scottsdale?
Yes, when it's run well. The average Scottsdale Airbnb grossed $55,542 in the 12 months to September 2026, 55% above the Arizona average of $35,793. Run by its owner, with the cleaning fee covering the cleaner and everyday costs for Airbnb's fee, utilities, supplies, upkeep and insurance, $35,282 a year (about $2,940 a month) is left before the mortgage or rent. A home that costs less than that to own or rent makes a profit, and a listing at the top-quarter mark leaves about $5,430 a month. Check a specific home in the Airbnb calculator.
