Streaky Bay 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 Streaky Bay maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 1.3%, median prices could reach $627,460 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Streaky Bay pull back 10-15% from $545,617, with vacancy rising to 3.2% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
- Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

THE PLAY
Streaky Bay carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A recovery market combined with low vacancy risk warrants caution.
