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.

Kings Meadows TAS Investment Brief

## 1. Investment Verdict Hold – the key figure is the median house price of $658,004 (sole source: OnTheHouse). The scorecard also rates the suburb 56 / 100, which sits in the “Hold” band.

## 2. Market Overview - Median house price: $658,004 (sole source – OnTheHouse, not peer‑validated). - Growth trend: not supplied in the data set. - Days on market: not supplied.

*Signal:* With only a single‑source median and no trend or DOM data, the market picture is unclear. Buyers should treat the price as a reference point rather than a guarantee of value, while sellers cannot rely on strong demand signals.

## 3. Rental Market - Vacancy rate: not supplied. - Weekly rent: not supplied. - Gross yield: not supplied. - Demand rating: not supplied.

*Implication:* Without rental metrics we cannot calculate yield or assess tenant demand. Investors should seek up‑to‑date rental data before committing capital.

## 4. Short‑Term Rental Opportunity - STR nightly rate: not supplied. - Occupancy: not supplied. - Estimated annual revenue: not supplied.

*Conclusion:* There is insufficient information to compare long‑term rental (LTR) versus short‑term rental (STR) performance in Kings Meadows.

## 5. Infrastructure & Growth Drivers - Known projects: not supplied. - Transport links: not supplied. - Employment base: not supplied.

*Drivers/Limits:* The lack of disclosed infrastructure or employment data means we cannot identify specific catalysts or constraints for demand.

## 6. Bull Case If the suburb’s median price holds steady or appreciates, and rental data later shows yields above 4 % with low vacancy, the upside could be a 5‑10 % capital gain over the next 12‑24 months. These figures are illustrative only; they are not derived from the current data set.

## 7. Risks - Vacancy risk: cannot quantify without vacancy data. - Single‑employer dependency: cannot assess without employment data. - Supply pipeline: unknown because no development pipeline information is provided. - Rate sensitivity: cannot model without local economic or interest‑rate impact data.

## 8. The Play - Entry range: target properties around the sole‑source median of $658,004. - Minimum yield to target: cannot set a figure until weekly rent and vacancy data become available. - Watch signals: 1. Release of peer‑validated median price data. 2. Publication of vacancy and rent figures for Kings Meadows. 3. Announcement of new infrastructure or employment projects. - Recommended strategy: Treat the suburb as a Hold for now. Acquire a property only after confirming rental yield (≥ 4 % gross) and verifying that vacancy remains low (< 5 %). Monitor the market for the missing data points before scaling exposure.
