Why Invest in Airbnb North America in 2025?
** Last updated: 2025-10-04
In recent years, North America has emerged as one of the best locations for investing in
short-term rentals thanks to its popular tourist attractions, thriving business activities, growing
digital nomad presence, and vibrant cities like Montecito, Kaanapali and Nantucket. With millions of international
visitors coming each year, the demand for vacation rental accommodations is growing, making Airbnb
North America a lucrative option for both local and foreign investors.
Due to strong demand from travelers, North America offers competitive average daily rates
(ADR), healthy occupancy rates, and attractive revenue potential in the best Airbnb markets. Whether
you’re looking to start your first Airbnb business with a modest budget or to add a luxury
short-term rental property to your portfolio, North America has a profitable location to
meet your budget and aspirations as an investor.
Note on Methodology: The Airbtics Market Score indicates how attractive a location is for investing
in an Airbnb rental property. We determine this score based on the following criteria:
- Short-term rental yield: The ratio between annual revenue and property price, as a percentage. Locations with higher Airbnb rental yield score better.
- Short-term rental regulations: How STR-friendly the local Airbnb rules and laws are. Markets with more lenient regulations get a higher score.
- Market size: The number of Airbnb listings. Larger vacation rental markets get a higher score as it is easier for investors to buy and sell properties.
- Growth: How fast the market is becoming saturated. Priority is given to markets that are already developed but are not approaching saturation yet.
- Seasonality: To what degree Airbnb performance is affected by seasonality. Less seasonal impact is preferred as investors can enjoy a more stable short-term rental performance throughout the year.
Based on this methodology, the best places to buy Airbnb in North America are:
