Magdalena: prices, rental yield & Airbnb income

The short answer
Long-term wins here, and comfortably: at 3.5% net it beats the 2.5% Airbnb gross by about 1.4 times, and the gap is wider still once you strip out the costs Airbnb figure ignores. With only 12 listings and 26% occupancy, the short-term market simply isn't deep enough to bet on in Magdalena. This isn't investment advice.

What Magdalena is

Magdalena del Mar is a coastal district on the rise — cheaper than neighbouring Miraflores and San Isidro, with a wave of new-build apartments and a quieter, more local feel. The lower entry price and firm rents make it one of the better long-term yield plays in the investor belt. Who buys here: value-focused investors who want coastal proximity without prime-district prices.

The Airbnb side is thin: just 12 listings, an average daily rate of $40.50, and only 26% occupancy, producing roughly $3,700 in annual revenue. That works out to a 2.5% gross yield, and remember gross means before Airbnb-specific costs like cleaning, furnishing and management.
