Coles 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. Run STR Check for the rules on a specific address.

BULL CASE
If Coles Bay maintains 4%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.4%, median prices could reach $807,054 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.
BEAR CASE
A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Coles Bay pull back 10-15% from $701,786, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.
KEY RISKS
- Above-average vacancy rate (3.5%) indicates rental oversupply risk
