Earnings in Melbourne depend on various factors, from location to property size, interior styling, and amenities, as well as seasonality and the city’s busy calendar of cultural, sporting, and business events. Occupancy and nightly rates are shaped by the listing quality, guest reviews, and the host’s responsiveness. Hometime’s revenue experts combine live market insights with extensive internal data to optimise pricing and maximise returns year-round.
Yes, short-term rentals are legal in Melbourne. Hosts must comply with local council rules, body corporate regulations, and Victoria’s short-stay levy, where you may have to pay a small fee for accepted bookings of less than 28 days. From 1 January 2025, owner corporations can ban the use of lots within their developments for short term rentals. Always check your property’s council and strata requirements before listing.
