AirROI market estimates, trailing 12 months, pulled 29 September 2026 (markets with 20 or more active listings). "Nights booked" is the middle listing's occupancy across a year. House rent is the NSW Government median for a new house lease in the council area, April to June 2026, times 52 and divided by 12. This is general information, not financial or tax advice. These are estimates from market data; your own place could earn more or less.
