As of June 2026, Oshkosh has 903 active Airbnb and VRBO listings. This represents a 8% decrease from the previous year.

The average Airbnb or VRBO in Oshkosh generates $29K per year. High-performing properties earn $85K/year, while low-performing properties earn $13K/year. Despite declining supply year-over-year, total revenue has contracted sharply, indicating demand is weakening faster than the market is adjusting. The significant gap between high and average performers—nearly triple the revenue—suggests market consolidation where competitive advantages are increasingly concentrated among top listings.

Airbnb and VRBO can be profitable in Oshkosh, with an average gross yield of 9% across all properties. High-performing properties achieve yields up to 25%, which is considered top for short-term rental investment.

Short-term rental regulations vary by jurisdiction in the Oshkosh area. I don't have reliable current information about Oshkosh's specific short-term rental regulations and enforcement practices. Short-term rental rules vary significantly by municipality and change frequently. I recommend contacting Oshkosh's Planning or Community Development Department directly, or checking the city's official website for accurate, up-to-date requirements regarding permits, occupancy rules, and how actively they enforce their regulations. Always verify current regulations with local authorities and obtain necessary permits before operating a short-term rental.

The Oshkosh Airbnb and VRBO market is currently showing balanced conditions. Supply has declined 8% year-over-year, while RevPAR has decreased 36%. This indicates balanced supply-demand dynamics. The significant gap between average revenue ($28,738) and top performers ($84,618) suggests a bifurcated market where property differentiation is driving substantial performance variance despite modest occupancy rates of 31%.
