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.

Harris Park NSW Investment Brief

## 1. Investment Verdict Buy – the Investment Scorecard rates Harris Park NSW at 71 / 100, the highest single figure we have to justify the recommendation.

---

## 2. Market Overview - Median house price: approximately $1,514,059 (sole source – OnTheHouse, no peer validation). - Growth trend, days on market, buyer vs seller signal: *Data not provided.* With only the median price and a strong scorecard, we infer that the market is priced at a premium, suggesting sellers may hold pricing power, but the lack of trend data means buyers should verify recent sales and turnover before committing.

---

## 3. Rental Market - Vacancy rate, weekly rent, gross yield, demand rating: *Data not provided.* - Implication for investors: Without rental metrics we cannot calculate yield or assess demand. Investors should obtain current vacancy and rent figures before finalising a purchase.

---

## 4. Short‑Term Rental Opportunity - STR nightly rate, occupancy, estimated annual revenue: *Data not provided.* - LTR vs STR: In the absence of short‑term rental data, we cannot determine which strategy outperforms. A prudent approach is to source local STR performance before deciding.

---

## 5. Infrastructure & Growth Drivers - Known projects, transport links, employment base, demand drivers: *Data not provided.* - Impact: Without information on upcoming infrastructure or major employers, we cannot quantify the drivers of future demand. Prospective buyers should research council plans, transport upgrades and local job hubs.

---

## 6. Bull Case - Upside scenario: The only quantitative anchor is the median house price of ≈ $1,514,059. If the suburb experiences strong price growth (e.g., 5‑7 % annually) and rental yields improve, the capital value could rise to ≈ $1.8 million within three years. This scenario assumes the scorecard’s “Buy” sentiment is underpinned by unseen growth factors.

---

## 7. Risks | Risk | Quantified aspect (if any) | Comment | |------|----------------------------|---------| | Vacancy risk | *No vacancy data supplied* | Investors cannot gauge rental security; a high vacancy would erode yield. | | Single‑employer dependency | *No employment data supplied* | If the suburb relies on a limited number of large employers, any downsizing could affect demand. | | Supply pipeline | *No data on new dwellings* | An influx of new housing could pressure prices and rents. | | Rate sensitivity | *No interest‑rate impact data* | Higher rates could reduce buyer affordability, especially at a median price of ≈ $1.5 m. |

---

## 8. The Play - Entry range: Target purchases around the sole‑source median of ≈ $1,514,059, allowing a discount of 5‑10 % to buffer against data uncertainty. - Minimum yield to target: *Cannot be calculated without rent data*; aim for a gross yield of at least 4 % once rental figures are sourced. - Watch signals: 1. Peer‑validated median price updates. 2. Release of local vacancy and rent statistics. 3. Announcement of infrastructure projects or major employer expansions. - Recommended strategy: Acquire a property at a price below the sole‑source median, conduct thorough due‑diligence on rental performance and upcoming developments, and hold for medium‑term capital growth while monitoring the market for yield‑enhancing opportunities.
