Alstonville Short-Term Rental (Airbnb) Market
Alstonville NSW Investment Analysis
HOLD
— 3.5% gross yield on a $940,000 median.
THE MARKET
Alstonville recorded 1.6% annual price growth over the past 5 years — a $940,000 house bought in 2019 would be worth approximately $868,279 today. Properties are sitting on the market for 30 days (roughly balanced conditions).
- **Median house:** $940,000 | **Units:** $0 - **Gross yield:** 3.5% | **Net yield:** 2.0% - **Vacancy:** 3.0% (stable) | **Rental demand:** Moderate - **5yr price growth:** 1.6%/yr | **3yr forecast:** 1.8%/yr - **Days on market:** 30 (stable)
STR potential: $195/night at 68% occupancy = ~$48,399/yr gross. Long-term at $0/yr may be simpler with comparable returns.
BULL CASE
If Alstonville maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $1,081,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Alstonville pull back 10-15% from $940,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
WHAT TO DO
Alstonville offers balanced fundamentals but does not present an urgent buying signal. The market is in a growth phase with moderate vacancy risk. Monitor vacancy trends and price movements over the next 6-12 months. Only enter if a property can be acquired at or below median pricing with yields exceeding 4.0%.
- Entry range: $846,000 – $1,034,000 - Minimum yield to target: 4.5% - Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market holding under 35
