FEATURE STORY

PR E ST IGE

yron Bay … beautiful one day, far beyond many people’s pockets the next. But why has the northern NSW holiday spot been in the grip of such a rapid upward house price spiral since the start of COVID-19? Could it be because it’s simply a stunning area with gorgeous beaches and lush national parks? Or that it offers such a pleasant escape from the hardships of city lockdowns for out-of-towners and locals alike? Or the fact that land is limited so supply isn’t enough to meet the demand of the flight to the regions? Or maybe it’s something to do with the highvoltage star power of resident Chris Hemsworth and frequent friends Nicole Kidman, Matt Damon and Zac Efron. “I think it’s all of those things, plus the nature of the community here itself,” says Helen Huntly-Barratt of First National Byron. “There’s a real tolerance of everyone, whether you’re a Liberal, a hippy, a greenie, gay or straight. Everyone feels very comfortable in this environment. And you talk to people here and they might be worth $500 or $500,000 and you wouldn’t know the difference. It doesn’t matter.”

Everyone wants a piece of Byron Bay Cashed-up buyers from Sydney and Melbourne are flocking to the Aussie beachside paradise for a simpler lifestyle. B y SU E WILLIAMS

Whatever the reason for the pulling power, the strength of that allure isn’t in doubt. In May this year, the unprecedented demand for homes in the northern rivers area pushed the Byron median house price up to smash the landmark $1 million barrier, and then higher still to eclipse even the price of homes in the nation’s traditionally most expensive city, Sydney. Now Byron’s median house price sits at an astonishing $1.55 million, up a thumping 34.8 per cent over the past year, and more than doubling over the past five years. That’s nearly $51,000 more than Sydney’s

median of $1,499,126, and more than $512,000 higher than Melbourne’s, on figures from the latest Domain House Price Report. “There’s been continued price growth from the early 1980s but that was mostly from Sydneysiders and backpackers,” says Liam Annesley of the Byron Bay Real Estate Agency. “Then Paul Hogan, John Cornell, Delvene Delaney and Olivia Newton-John put it on the map and brought the Packers here, who, in turn, brought their friends. “By 10 years ago, it had become a brand itself, for beer, boutique clothes, food, everything, and

social media has pushed that hard. Besides, where else would be better to park your money at the moment?” Certainly, Byron has far more than its fair share of luxury homes to appeal to the wealthy looking for a sound investment with stellar capital growth and a laid-back lifestyle. Huntly-Barratt, for instance, is selling a fivebedroom, architect-designed, fully off-grid home named Hoopla at 43 Raywards Lane, Skinners Shoot. It’s a short bicycle ride from the Byron town centre, set on three hectares of landscaped gardens and expected to sell for more than $9 million. “It’s a beautiful house in one of the most desirable places in the world with one of the best climates and no over-development,” she says. “Byron is also so accessible today, close to airports and with the upgrades to the Pacific Highway from Sydney now almost finished.” Just a 10-minute drive into the hinterland is another beauty, the eight-bedroom eco-retreat Magnolia Place on nearly 0.8 hectares at 15 Magnolia Place Ewingsdale. It’s for sale with a price guide of $9.5 million to $10.5 million through Ku Darroch of Byron Bay Property Sales. “Built eight years ago as a guest house, this is its first time on the market,” he says. “It could be a wonderful family home or holiday home in a subtropical pocket that’s becoming even more popular now that people can work from home and have a much freer lifestyle.” Darroch says the market is so hot, a house that was selling for less than $1.2 million two years ago was given a coat of paint and then sold recently for $3.1 million. Another in Ewingsdale that went for $4.5 million before COVID-19 was just snapped up for $8.5 million. “It’s insane!” Darroch says. Another luxury holiday home, a six-bedroom, three-storey house at 13 Pacific Vista Drive, Byron Bay, at Tallow Beach, is also for sale for offers over $7.5 million. “It’s been rented out to national and international celebrities before, and used as a MasterChef pop-up,” says Sarah Smith, a friend of the owners.

All that celebrity focus has kept Byron in the spotlight throughout the pandemic, a period in which it has recorded its strongest price growth ever, believes Su Reynolds of First National Byron Bay. “We can no longer draw on past sales for an indication of price,” she says. “They don’t seem now to have any relevance at all. “One property was listed for $3.5 million – which we thought was healthy – and it sold for just short of $5 million. “About 50 per cent of the market are buyers already living here and then 27 to 30 per cent Sydney, and Melbourne about eight per cent. We’ve had a lot of people who used to come for a couple of weeks every year now buying to stay longer-term.” If someone couldn’t afford Byron Bay, they were traditionally pointed to areas nearby, but now prices in many of those places have also skyrocketed. In Mullumbimby, Brunswick Heads and the hinterland, Gary Brazenor of Byron Shire Real Estate has seen values pushed up by city buyers looking for more space. “We’re getting Melbourne people buying in these areas sight-unseen,” he says. “Although the vaccination rates are lagging, that’s not putting people off. What they miss out on vax, they’re making up for on lower density.” At Lennox Head, one out of 10 to 20 buyers used to be from out of the area. Today, it’s 50:50, with a lot of buyers leveraging their city homes to buy locally. “We’re a spin-off from Byron Bay, which is a bit manic these days,” says Michael King of Elders Real Estate. “The beauty of [being] here is that you can visit Byron, but you don’t have to live there. But I think when interest rates start to go up, it’ll calm down.” At Bangalow, 14 kilometres into the hinterland, GNF Bangalow agent Alli Page says there has been a tidal wave of demand since the early days of the pandemic – particularly from Melbourne and Sydney. She wonders whether such steep price rises can possibly be sustained, but adds that, when it

comes to prestige properties, “those buyers don’t care if they pay a bit extra”. “Lower down, at $2 million to $3 million, buyers are more circumspect,” she says. “It’s impossible to tell how much property is going to go for at the moment. It’s like looking into a crystal ball …”

The long and the short of rentals Are higher-yielding short-term rentals the way to go with your holiday investment? Or are long-term lets better? B y SU E WILLIAMS

Wategos Beach at Byron Bay – a very popular area for property investors.

t’s a common dilemma for many investing in property in any one of the strongly performing holiday markets around Australia: Should it be kept as a holiday home, with short-term holiday lets when the family doesn’t want it, or should it be put into the longterm residential rental pool? Short-term lets, with real estate holiday managers or on platforms like Stayz and Airbnb, command higher rents but usually only for the peak holiday periods; regular rents are lower but the returns flow in all year-round. “A lot depends on the location, the property and how many bedrooms,” says Byron Beach Realty holiday property manager Shayne Mead. “The more desirable the place, the more frequently rented out it will be, but you have to remember that there are more outgoings with holiday lets. “You’ll have to pay electricity, cleaning and linen charges, and someone to look after letting. Also, the tourist market can be affected by unforeseen factors. It’s busy now, for instance, but over the lockdowns, these properties were pretty much empty.”

There might be different regulations about the number of times homes can be let. In NSW, a 180-day limit has been introduced for nonhosted properties, while individual councils are considering restricting that still further. In Byron Bay, a 90-day limit is being discussed.

“There are more outgoings with holiday lets.” On the plus side, though, a three-bedroom holiday home in Byron might command $7000 to $8000 a week in peak season, compared to a regular weekly rental of $1100. Currently, fewer than five per cent of holiday homes are available there for summer, according to Stayz. “The reality of the COVID era is that there is a real pent-up demand for travel and a prime opportunity for investors to generate revenue from the short-term rental market,” says

Darren Karshagen, director of Australia and New Zealand vacation rentals with Expedia, which owns Stayz. “Home ownership is a durable way to build wealth, and renting to travellers makes it much more accessible. During good times, people have extra capital to invest. In downturns, people want to find a way to generate extra revenue and/or monetise their assets. “The advantage over traditional long-term rentals, along with income, is its flexibility – you decide the weeks or weekends during which you want to rent your property and always keep control over the schedule.” By the same token, COVID has also revealed the downside. Simon Pressley, head of property market research at investor specialist Propertyology, advises caution. “People need to be aware of the tangible risks as well as the tangible opportunities,” he says. “A fundamental rule for any investment decision is making sure a location has economic diversity so, if tourism isn’t doing well – as we saw with COVID and the GFC – there’s something else to fall back on. “And, with holiday letting, a lot of people underestimate the management and the cost. You might pay a property manager 15 per cent of income to look after lettings and keys, plus you’ll have to pay for cleaning and odd jobs and maintaining it through the wear and tear.”
