Baryulgil NSW Property Investment
Richmond Valley · 2460 · Score: 38/100 · Caution
Baryulgil Short-Term Rental (Airbnb) Market
Estimated revenue assumes year-round availability. Non-hosted short-stays are night-capped in some councils (e.g. 60 nights across most of Byron Shire, 180 in Ballina, Muswellbrook and parts of Greater Sydney) and levied in Victoria — the legal cap can cut achievable income well below this figure.

Baryulgil NSW Investment Brief
## 1. Investment Verdict Avoid – the suburb’s Investment Scorecard sits at 38.0 / 100 (Caution), the lowest‑ranking figure in the brief and the primary driver of the recommendation.
---
## 2. Market Overview - Median house price: approximately $685,000 (based on limited recent sales). - Median unit price: N/A – no unit sales recorded. - Growth trend: N/A – insufficient sales data to calculate a reliable price trend. - Days on market: N/A – not supplied.
*Signal:* With only a handful of recent transactions, the market appears thin and potentially illiquid. Buyers are likely to have bargaining power, while sellers may need to price aggressively to attract interest.
---
## 3. Rental Market - Vacancy rate: N/A - Weekly rent: N/A - Gross yield: N/A (cannot be derived without rent data) - Demand rating: N/A
*Implication:* The absence of rental statistics prevents any confidence in cash‑flow modelling. Investors cannot verify whether the suburb can deliver a satisfactory yield.
---
## 4. Short‑Term Rental Opportunity - STR nightly rate: N/A - Occupancy rate: N/A - Estimated annual STR revenue: N/A
*Conclusion:* With no short‑term rental metrics, we cannot assess whether a long‑term rental (LTR) or short‑term rental (STR) strategy would be superior.
---
## 5. Infrastructure & Growth Drivers - Known projects: N/A - Transport links: N/A - Employment base: N/A
*Drivers/Limits:* The lack of disclosed infrastructure or employment information suggests limited identifiable catalysts for demand growth at present.
---
## 6. Bull Case If future data reveals a stronger employment base, new infrastructure, or a surge in buyer interest, the median house price could appreciate. A plausible upside would be a 10 %–15 % price increase, moving the median toward $750,000–$790,000. However, this scenario remains speculative until concrete data emerges.
---
## 7. Risks | Risk | Detail (with available numbers) | |------|---------------------------------| | Vacancy risk | No vacancy data – the market could be undersupplied or oversupplied, increasing uncertainty for rental income. | | Single‑employer dependency | Employment data not provided – if the suburb relies on a single major employer, any downturn could sharply affect demand. | | Supply pipeline | No information on new builds or approvals – a sudden influx of supply could depress prices and yields. | | Rate sensitivity | With a median price of ≈ $685,000, any rise in interest rates could reduce buyer affordability and pressure prices, but the exact impact cannot be quantified without loan‑to‑value or buyer‑income data. |
---
## 8. The Play - Entry range: around $685,000 for a house (the only price point available). - Minimum yield to target: cannot be set due to missing rent figures; investors should seek at least 5 % gross yield as a benchmark before committing. - Watch signals: 1. Publication of new sales that expand the price dataset. 2. Announcement of infrastructure or major employer projects. 3. Emerging rental listings that reveal vacancy and rent levels. - Recommended strategy: Given the low Investment Scorecard and the paucity of market, rental, and infrastructure data, treat Baryulgil as a high‑risk, low‑information suburb. Hold off on acquisition until more robust data becomes available or until a clear growth catalyst is announced. If you must enter, negotiate a price well below the approximate median to build a margin for potential yield.
