The commission is based on the property type and location
Sydney is Australia's largest city and one of the world's most recognised short-let markets. The harbour, Opera House and Harbour Bridge draw international visitors year-round, with New Year's Eve marking the single biggest demand night on the global calendar. Sydney Harbour fireworks bring guests from across the world, pushing nightly rates to their annual peak for properties with harbour proximity or CBD access.
Demand is strong across all seasons. Sydney Festival in January, the City2Surf in August, and Vivid Sydney, held each May and June, create concentrated booking surges in the CBD, Darling Harbour and inner suburbs. A deep corporate base across financial services, government, technology and legal sectors sustains weekday occupancy from February through November. Bondi Beach and Manly remain among the most searched short-let destinations in the world year-round, independent of seasonal patterns.
Houst lists your property across Airbnb, Booking.com and VRBO and manages all channels from one platform. Our dynamic pricing engine adjusts your nightly rate daily against local demand signals, competitor rates, seasonal patterns and event calendars, maximising revenue on every booking window without requiring any manual input from you.
A well-managed two-bedroom property in Sydney typically earns around A$165,600 per year, based on an average daily rate of A$553 and 82% occupancy. New Year's Eve is the single highest-rate night in the Sydney calendar, with Harbour Bridge fireworks drawing visitors from across the world, pushing properties in the CBD, Bondi and Manly to their annual ADR peak. Sydney Festival in January extends the premium demand window into the new year.
Year-round demand underpins Sydney's short-let market beyond the summer peak. Vivid Sydney in May and June sustains occupancy through the shoulder season with consistent bookings across the CBD and Darling Harbour. A large corporate base spanning financial services, legal, technology and government sectors sustains midweek occupancy across the inner suburbs from February to November. Bondi and Manly attract consistent domestic and international leisure visitors regardless of season, while Parramatta and the Northern Beaches see strong weekend demand from Sydney residents and regional visitors seeking coastal or urban getaways.
