Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I earn from Airbnbs in Sydney?

Earnings in Sydney vary depending on the location, property size, design, and features, as well as seasonality and the city’s packed calendar of events and festivals. Occupancy and nightly rates are influenced by listing quality, guest reviews, and the host’s responsiveness. Hometime’s specialist revenue team goes beyond automation, combining live market insights with years of extensive internal data to optimise pricing, capture demand, and boost returns year-round.

Are short-term rentals legal in Sydney?

Yes, short-term rentals are legal in Sydney, but they’re regulated under NSW government rules. Properties in Greater Sydney have a 180-night annual cap if they are not the host’s primary residence. Owners must also comply with the NSW Fair Trading Code of Conduct, local council rules, and strata by-laws. Partnering with a professional property manager like Hometime helps ensure compliance while maximising your earnings.

What seasons drive the most bookings in Sydney?

According to our Sydney short-term rental market report, demand is strongest in the warmer months, particularly summer, when both occupancy and nightly rates rise. Christmas and New Year generate the highest returns, with New Year’s Eve in the CBD leading the way. While autumn and winter are softer, events and business travel continue to support bookings year-round.
