Buying an Airbnb in Liverpool

Quick answer

What does it cost to buy in Liverpool?

Can you buy an Airbnb in Liverpool, NSW? Yes, but it depends on how you run it. A whole-home (non-hosted) Airbnb in the Liverpool council area is capped at 180 nights a year under NSW rules, and every property must be on the NSW STRA Register with its PID-STRA number on the listing. Over the past 12 months, 2-bedroom units in Liverpool sold for a median $535,000 across 387 sales, 4-bedroom houses in Austral for $1,127,500, and 3-bedroom houses in Moorebank for $1,200,000. In apartment blocks, check the strata by-laws first.

Before you buy in Liverpool

Four checks we make on every Liverpool property

  • 180-night cap for whole homesLiverpool is in the Sydney Region, so a non-hosted Airbnb can take 180 nights a year. We model income on 180 nights plus stays of 21 nights or more, and compare it with long-term rent.
  • Strata by-laws in Liverpool unitsMost sales in the Liverpool CBD are units (387 two-bedroom sales in 12 months). We read the by-laws and recent minutes for any short-term rental ban or 2-adults-per-bedroom limit.
  • New supply in growth suburbsStash shows 1,115 new homes approved in Austral in the last 12 months. We check how much new stock is coming nearby before you pay for a new-estate house.
  • Registration and fire safetyWe confirm the property can be registered on the NSW STRA Register and what the STRA Fire Safety Standard work (alarms, evacuation diagram, extinguisher and blanket for units) will cost.

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 Liverpool rents for $30,940 to $41,600 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

Liverpool short-stay rules for buyers

Taken from the same verified rules as our Liverpool management page, checked against official sources on 5 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

LIVERPOOL CITY COUNCIL LEVEL

NO

No published Liverpool City 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 Liverpool City 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.

Liverpool City 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 Liverpool Airbnb development-application fee?NO

There is no standard Liverpool 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 Liverpool registration or permit number?NO

Liverpool City 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 Liverpool charge an Airbnb registration or renewal fee?NO

No published Liverpool 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 Liverpool short-stay levy or tax?NO

No Liverpool City 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 Liverpool: questions buyers ask

Can I run an Airbnb in Liverpool?

Yes, if you follow the NSW rules. The property must be on the NSW STRA Register with its PID-STRA number on the listing, meet the STRA Fire Safety Standard, and follow the mandatory Code of Conduct. Liverpool is in the Sydney Region, so a whole-home (non-hosted) Airbnb is limited to 180 nights a year; bookings of 21 nights or more don’t count. In a strata building, a by-law can ban short-term rental in lots that are not the host’s home.

What are the best suburbs to buy an Airbnb in Liverpool?

It depends on your strategy. By number of sales in the past 12 months, the busiest suburbs were Liverpool (611 sales), Austral (385), Leppington (189), Edmondson Park (186) and Moorebank (170). Liverpool units have the lowest entry prices, with a $535,000 median for 2 bedrooms, while Austral and Leppington are mainly newer 4-bedroom houses. Compare each suburb in the table above.

What does an Airbnb earn in Liverpool?

We don’t publish an earnings figure for Liverpool here because we solely quote figures we can source. Before you buy, Wealth Through Property prepares a property-specific estimate from live short-term rental market data, using the NSW 180-night cap for a whole-home Airbnb and comparing it with the long-term rent.

Does a buyer’s agent need a licence in NSW?

Yes. In NSW, buying property for someone else for a fee is real estate agency work that needs a licence. Wealth Through Property holds the licences needed to buy on your behalf where it operates, and works with licensed partners elsewhere.

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

The fixed fee is $18,000 up to a $1.8 million purchase price, then 0.6% on the part from $1.8M to $2M, 0.57% from $2M to $5M, 0.525% from $5M to $10M and 0.375% above $10M, GST included. A retainer starting at $1,000 comes off the fee, and you can pay at settlement or monthly. The fee calculator on this page shows the exact fee for your price, and we confirm it in writing before you sign.

What if I rent it out long term instead?

If short-term rental doesn’t suit, 2-bedroom units in Liverpool leased for a median $560 a week over the past 12 months with unit vacancy of 1.1%, and 4-bedroom houses in Austral leased for $800 a week with house vacancy of 3.4% (Stash Property).
