Before you buy in Camden

Four checks we make on every Camden property

  • Historic town or new estateGuests visiting Camden's historic town centre, wineries and the Nepean River want character homes; new estates such as Oran Park suit families and contractors. We match the house to the guest before you buy.
  • Numbers at 180 nightsNon-hosted stays are capped at 180 nights a year in Camden, so we model the return at the cap and with mid-term stays of 21 nights or more, which do not count towards it.
  • New-estate supplyOran Park had 607 houses for sale in Sep 2026 and Leppington 869. We check how much new stock is coming before you pay a premium in a growth suburb.
  • Covenants and community rulesNewer estates often carry building covenants or community scheme rules. We read the title and any community management statement for limits on use before you exchange.

Reading it as a short-stay buyer
  • Rental vacancy under 1% means a strong long-term rental fallback if you ever stop short-stay letting.
  • A low owner-occupier share and lots of new approvals can mean more competing rentals. Check both.
  • Days on market shows how quickly you could sell. Fewer days means an easier exit.

The number an Airbnb has to beat

Long-term rent is your fallback

A 3-bedroom house in Camden rents for $33,800 to $49,400 a year long term, depending on the suburb. A short stay makes sense when it clears that comfortably after cleaning, platform and management costs, which is why we test both before you buy.

Follows the Houses / Units and bedroom buttons above. With several bedroom counts picked, each suburb shows the sales-weighted average of those sizes. Your suburb is shown first, then the 4 highest gross yields.

Rules that change what you should buy

Camden short-stay rules for buyers

Taken from the same verified rules as our Camden management page, checked against official sources on 1 October 2026. We build the approval strategy into the purchase.

Open a question for the detail and the official source

The current state, council and property checks, with official sources. Tap a topic to open it.

01Owner checksOwnership, finance, insurance and authority to operate
  • Confirm ownership, finance, insurance and authority to operate the property as short-term accommodation.
02Do I need a New South Wales Airbnb registration or listing number?YES

Every hosted and non-hosted residential STRA property must be registered on the NSW Planning Portal before it is advertised.

The PID-STRA registration number must be displayed on the listing and the registration must be renewed annually.

  • Initial registration fee: $65
  • Annual renewal fee: $25
  • Registration applies to both hosted and non-hosted residential STRA
  • Approved traditional tourist accommodation categories are dealt with separately

Official sources: Official government source

03Is there a New South Wales short-stay levy or tax?NO

No current New South Wales tax or levy specifically imposed on ordinary Airbnb or short-stay bookings has been identified.

Official sources: Official government source

04Are there different rules for hosted and unhosted Airbnbs?YES

HOSTED AIRBNB

Hosted STRA can operate for up to 365 days, subject to registration, fire-safety, planning and property requirements.

UNHOSTED AIRBNB

Non-hosted STRA day limits depend on the location. The ordinary limit is 180 days in Greater Sydney, Ballina and specified mapped areas, 60 days in most of Byron Shire, and up to 365 days outside prescribed areas or within an applicable mapped exception.

Bookings of 21 or more consecutive days to the same person or group are not counted toward the applicable non-hosted annual cap.

Any council-specific approval or operating requirement belongs under the council-level section.

Official sources: Official government source

05Is there a minimum stay or annual night cap?YES

NEW SOUTH WALES LEVEL

YES — LOCATION AND HOSTING STATUS DEPENDENT

  • Hosted STRA: no annual day cap below 365 days
  • Non-hosted STRA: 180-day cap in Greater Sydney, Ballina and specified mapped areas
  • Most of Byron Shire: 60-day cap, subject to mapped 365-day precincts
  • Other NSW areas: up to 365 days under the exempt pathway
  • Bookings of 21 or more consecutive days are excluded from cap counting
  • No universal NSW minimum number of nights per booking

CAMDEN COUNCIL LEVEL

NO

No published Camden Council rule has been identified that imposes a universal Airbnb-specific minimum stay or annual booking-night cap on ordinary private residential properties. Property-specific approvals can still impose conditions.

Any minimum rental periods applying to council-owned accommodation, staff housing, campsites or other authority-provided accommodation are service conditions. They are not private Airbnb restrictions.

Official sources: Official government source

06Do I need Camden Council approval or a DA?NO

USUALLY NO DA — eligible residential STRA can use the NSW Housing SEPP exempt pathway if every standard, registration requirement and applicable day limit is met. DA/consent review is required outside that pathway. Fee is statutory/proposal-specific. Approval is never assured.

Camden Council checks:

  • Check — Hosted or unhosted treatment: The NSW Code of Conduct and STRA fire-safety standard apply to hosted and non-hosted residential STRA.
  • No — Guest limit: No general statewide STRA guest cap.
  • No — Parking plan or condition: No statewide STRA parking quota.
  • Check — Noise management: Mandatory Code of Conduct applies.
  • No — Property or management plan: No statewide management-plan requirement for every exempt STRA.
  • No — Neighbour notification or contact: No statewide rule requiring direct neighbour contact details for every STRA.
  • No — Waste plan: No statewide STRA waste-management plan.
  • Check — Fire or evacuation requirements: Statewide STRA fire standard: evacuation plan/information, interconnected smoke alarms and required fire equipment; registration confirms compliance.

General noise, nuisance, parking, building, fire, strata, title, lease and insurance requirements still apply even when there is no blanket authority approval.

Official sources: Official government source

07Is there a Camden Airbnb development-application fee?NO

There is no standard Camden Airbnb development-application fee applying to every owner.

VARIABLE — where a DA is required, the statutory NSW fee is calculated under Schedule 4 of the EP&A Regulation and invoiced through the portal; exact fee depends on application type/cost.

If an individual property requires a development application, solely the fee applying to that specific application should be shown.

Official sources: Official government source

08Do I need a Camden registration or permit number?NO

Camden Council does not have a published Airbnb-specific registration or permit-number scheme separate from any state or territory requirement and from a property-specific development approval.

Official sources: Official government source

09Does Camden charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO

No published Camden Airbnb-specific registration, listing, annual renewal, inspection or operating-permit fee has been identified. General authority fees unrelated to Airbnb must not be displayed as short-stay fees.

Official sources: Official government source

10Is there a Camden short-stay levy or tax?NO

No Camden Council tax or levy specifically charged on Airbnb or short-stay bookings has been identified.

This is separate from the state or territory levy answer under number 03.

Payment plans

Pay your Airbnb buyers agent fee monthly, not all at once

A buyers agent fee usually falls due at settlement, right when the deposit, stamp duty, furniture and setup costs land. We let you spread it. You start with a retainer from $1,000, which comes off your fee, then choose how to pay the rest.

  • Pay at settlement

    Nothing more until you buy. The balance is paid at settlement, with nothing added.

  • 3 months, interest-free

    Split the balance into three monthly payments, with no interest at any point.

  • 12, 24 or 36 months

    Smaller monthly payments. No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, 0.5% a month applies to what is still owing.

  • Pay it off early, any time

    Clear the balance whenever you like and the interest stops. You pay what is left of the fee, nothing more.

  • Worked out on the price you pay

    Payments start on your estimated price. When you buy, the fee is worked out again on the actual price, and anything paid over is refunded.

  • More cash to set the home up

    Spreading the fee keeps more of your cash for the deposit, furniture and setup, so the home can start taking bookings sooner.

Illustrative example: on a $1.5M Airbnb purchase our fee is $18,000, GST included. After a $1,500 retainer you could pay the $16,500 balance at settlement, as $5,500 a month for 3 months with no interest, or from $687.50 a month on the 24-month plan. Use the Airbnb buyers agent fee calculator to see every option for your price.

    I’ve bought two properties through Scott and both have been excellent buys. He found great value in strong locations, and the growth has been solid. Because of the results from those first two, I’m now in a position to buy another two investment properties and I’ll definitely be using Scott again.

    Scott has been awesome throughout my journey. We bought our first investment property with Scott’s help and professional guidance. Would recommend him to any new buyers looking to kick start their investment portfolio.

Common questions

Buying an Airbnb in Camden: questions buyers ask

Can I run an Airbnb in Camden?

Yes, in most homes, under the NSW state framework. You must register on the NSW short-term rental register, meet the fire safety standard and Code of Conduct, and keep whole-home stays to 180 nights in any 365 days. Camden Council has no separate short-stay registration of its own.

Which Camden suburbs are best for an Airbnb investment?

It depends on the guest. Camden and Camden South sit closest to the historic town centre and the river, Narellan has the main shopping centre, and Oran Park, Gregory Hills and Spring Farm offer newer 4-bedroom homes from a median $1,125,000 to $1,200,000. We shortlist by guest type, supply and the 180-night cap.

What can an Airbnb earn in Camden?

We do not publish a single figure because earnings depend on the house, its location and the 180-night cap. Before you make an offer we run the address through our revenue calculator and compare it with the long-term rent shown on this page.

Does a buyer’s agent need a licence to buy in Camden?

Yes. In NSW a buyer’s agent must hold a real estate licence issued by NSW Fair Trading. In NSW, offers and contracts go through a locally licensed agent, or you sign them in your own name, and we do the searching, the income modelling and the inspection arrangements for you.

What does Wealth Through Property charge as a buyer’s agent?

$18,000 fixed for purchases up to $1.8M, then a sliding scale: 0.6% on the part from $1.8M to $2M, 0.57% on the part from $2M to $5M, 0.525% on the part from $5M to $10M and 0.375% on the part over $10M. A retainer from $1,000 starts the search and comes off your fee. Pay at settlement, or monthly over 3 months interest-free, or over 12, 24 or 36 months. Airbnb course access is included. All amounts include GST.

What if I rent it long term instead?

Long-term rent is the fallback. In the last 12 months 3-bedroom houses leased for a median $660 a week in Camden and $650 in Narellan, and 4-bedroom houses for $800 in Oran Park. House vacancy was 0.7% in Camden and 1.5% in Oran Park.
