This page lists properties for sale that already work — or could work — as an Air BnB, across 9 markets where Brixfox holds both a live for-sale catalog and its own Airbnb performance data. Each market block shows the six highest gross yields in that catalog; the market pages behind them show twenty-four, plus the legal position a buyer has to clear before any of the numbers apply.
The occupancy and nightly-rate figures are measured, not survey estimates: Brixfox tracks the availability calendars of hundreds of thousands of Airbnb listings daily and derives occupancy from the nights that actually get booked. A property's yield is modelled from the comparable Airbnbs around it — or, where its own Airbnb listing has been photo-matched, from that listing's calendar. Where a figure is an estimate the page says so, and where the model refuses a figure the card shows nothing rather than a guess.
Brixfox is an independent underwriter. We do not sell property, we are not an agency, and the ranking is by yield alone: a listing cannot pay to appear here. Every card links to the listing's own page, which names the agency and the basis of each number.

Occupancy is the share of nights booked, read from daily diffs of Airbnb availability calendars — a night that was open yesterday and blocked today is a booking. ADR is the nightly rate those listings ask. Both are measured per Airbnb listing and rolled up by area and bedroom count.
Gross yield on this page is the modelled annual gross revenue of a for-sale property — from the comparable Airbnbs near it, at its bedroom count — divided by its cost. In Bali, Portugal, Dubai, Thailand, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands and the ABC Islands that cost is the all-in acquisition cost (price plus transfer taxes, notary, legal, furnishing and launch); in Greece it is the asking price, because the all-in stack is not itemised there yet. Each market block says which.
Net yield — after management, running costs and the tax a non-resident owner pays — is on every card and unlocks with a free account, exactly as on the market listings pages. Implausible figures are suppressed by a per-market ceiling rather than published.
The full method, including the calendar-diff logic and how comps are weighted, is on the methodology page.
“Short-term rental” and “Airbnb” are the American phrasings for the same asset: a furnished home let by the night. US listing sites use them for US inventory almost exclusively. Brixfox covers the markets an international buyer reaches remotely instead — Southeast Asia, southern Europe and the Gulf — and applies the same test to each: what do the Airbnbs around this property actually earn?
UK and Irish buyers say “holiday let” or “holiday rental”; North Americans say “vacation rental”. The Algarve, the Spanish costas, the Greek islands and Tuscany are the traditional holiday-let markets for a British buyer, and Bali, Phuket and Dubai the newer ones. The pages below are the same catalogs under the phrasing you searched for — the numbers do not change with the vocabulary.
