Revenue
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.
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
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.

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.
Occupancy
Scottsdale listings were booked on 47% of the nights they were open over the past year, 3 percentage points above the Arizona average (44%) and 6 points above the U.S. average (41%). In a typical year, occupancy swings from 41% in September to 69% in March.
The busiest tenth of listings are booked about 2.8 times as often as the bottom quarter.
March is usually the busiest month in Scottsdale, September the quietest
Share of open nights booked, by month, September 2024 to August 2026
The 12-month rate of 47% averages each listing's whole year, slow months included; each month here counts only the listings booked in it.
Nightly rates
The average nightly rate in Scottsdale, known as ADR (average daily rate), was $404 over the past year, about 44% above the Arizona average of $280 and about 26% above the U.S. average of $320. In a typical year, rates peak in February and March at about $470 and bottom out in July and September at about $320.
Prices span a wide range: the top 10% charge about 4.5 times the rate of the bottom quarter.
February rates run 47% above September's
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.
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 Scottsdale it averaged $202 over the past year, from about $131 in a typical September to about $353 in a typical March.
Per open night, by tier:
March RevPAR is about 2.7 times September's

Seasonality
Scottsdale has one high season, February through April, which makes it a highly seasonal market. Business is slowest from June to October. Winter pays better here: a listing earns about 60% more a month in December through February than in June through August.

The 12-month figure of 57 days averages each listing's year as a whole; each month here averages only the listings with stays in it.
Permits
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.

Share of Scottsdale listings with each common amenity
Listings in Scottsdale with a home movie theater earned about 3.0 times as much a year, on average, as those without: $157,000 against $52,900. The gap is smaller for a backyard (about 2.9 times as much) and a barbecue grill (about 2.7 times as much). Bigger, professionally run homes tend to carry more amenities, so these gaps reflect the kind of listing as much as the feature itself.
