Seven Mile Beach TAS Property Investment

THE MARKET

Seven Mile Beach recorded 1.8% annual price growth over the past 5 years — a $1,100,000 house bought in 2019 would be worth approximately $1,006,129 today. Properties are sitting on the market for 19 days (sellers have the leverage).

- **Median house:** $1,100,000 | **Units:** $265,032 - **Gross yield:** 1.9% | **Net yield:** 0.4% - **Vacancy:** 0.6% (stable) | **Rental demand:** Very High - **5yr price growth:** 1.8%/yr | **3yr forecast:** 2.0%/yr - **Days on market:** 19 (improving)

STR potential: $175/night at 65% occupancy = ~$41,519/yr gross. That's a **102% premium** over long-term rent — but factor in higher management costs and council rules.

BULL CASE

If Seven Mile Beach maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 0.8%, median prices could reach $1,265,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

BEAR CASE

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Seven Mile Beach pull back 10-15% from $1,100,000, with vacancy rising to 1.1% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

WHAT TO DO

Seven Mile Beach offers balanced fundamentals but does not present an urgent buying signal. The market is in a growth phase with low vacancy risk. Monitor vacancy trends and price movements over the next 6-12 months. Only enter if a property can be acquired at or below median pricing with yields exceeding 4.0%.

- Entry range: $990,000 – $1,210,000 - Minimum yield to target: 4.5% - Watch signal: vacancy staying below 2% and days on market holding under 35
