Junee 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.

BULL CASE
If Junee maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $556,605 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Junee pull back 10-15% from $484,004, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
- Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

THE PLAY

- Entry range: $435,604 – $532,404
- Minimum gross yield to target: 4.8%
- Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
