Airbnb Market Analytics & Investment Insights
Yes, with caveats. New York’s whole-market median annual revenue is $40,336, with a median occupancy of 42% and median ADR of $217 (Chalet data). The regulatory environment is highly restrictive: only host-present, primary residence rentals for up to two guests are legal, with entire-unit STRs banned and strict enforcement.
Top-quartile operators can reach $59,074. Success depends on mastering compliance and product-market fit. Review [New York STR regulations](/rental-regulations/new-york-ny) before investing.
