The number an Airbnb has to beat
Long-term rent is your fallback
A 3-bedroom house in Adelaide rents for $29,380 to $44,200 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.

Wealth Through Property can introduce compliant longer-stay and mid-term strategies and correctly record any qualifying longer-booking exclusion.
Official sources: PlanSA — South Australian planning and development system
Last verified: 26 July 2026

The price
Airbnb buyers agent fees, worked out for your purchase
Pick your price range or type your budget. You see the fee, the retainer and every way to pay, straight away. All prices include GST.
What do you expect to pay for the property?
Your fee: $18,600 0.98% of the price, GST included. If you buy for more or less, it’s worked out again on the price you actually pay.
No interest while we search, and the first 3 months are interest-free. After you buy, interest is charged on what’s still owing, nothing more. Pay it off at any time and the interest stops: you just pay what’s left of the fee.
Included
- Your own buyers agent · One person who knows your brief from start to finish.
- Strategy session and 20-year plan · Where this property fits in your bigger plan.
- Airbnb data software · Real occupancy and nightly-rate data for every area we test.
- Unlimited reviews and negotiations · As many properties as it takes to get the right one.
- Off-market and pre-market access · Where available.
- Airbnb course access · Learn how the business works, free.
Good to know
- The retainer comes off your fee, never on top of it.
- Pay the balance at settlement, or spread it with a monthly payment plan.
- Airbnb course access is included with every purchase.
- All fees include GST.
The fee scale and retainer
Each rate applies to the part of the price inside its band, not the whole price. All amounts include GST.
Download the brochure (PDF). After you buy, full management is optional: $340 a month for the first 3 months, then a share of what the home earns. How do buyers agent fees compare? See buyers agent fees in Australia.
Pay monthly: see how the payment plans work3 to 36 months
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.

4.9 from 40 reviews★★★★★
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.

Thanks for helping me Scott. You made buying in another state easy and I wouldn’t had the time to do it myself

Common questions
Buying an Airbnb in Adelaide: questions buyers ask
What are the Airbnb rules in Adelaide?
South Australia has no short-stay register in force yet, but consultation on a statewide register and Code of Conduct closes on 30 October 2026, so assume registration is coming. Council planning rules and strata by-laws still apply, and we check both for the exact address before you offer.
How much does an Airbnb cost to buy in Adelaide?
In the last 12 months, 2-bed units sold for a median $670,000 in Adelaide; 3-bed houses $820,000 in Mawson Lakes. Each suburb above shows medians by bedroom count, rents and gross yields so you can compare before you shortlist.
What does an Airbnb buyer’s agent do in Adelaide?
We search for and assess Adelaide homes for short-stay income and long-term value, check the rules for the exact address and building, model the income, negotiate the purchase and set the home up to take bookings.
How much does the Airbnb buyers agent service cost?
$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.
Can Wealth Through Property manage the property after I buy?
Yes. Full management is optional: $340 a month for the first 3 months, then 12.5% down to 3% of what the home earns after platform fees and cleaning, GST included. Or we can run pricing and listings while you manage the property yourself.
Can a strata or community title ban Airbnb in Adelaide?
Some can. Strata and community title by-laws or rules may limit short stays, and owners can vote to change them. We read the by-laws and the building records for the exact address before you make an offer, so you do not buy a unit that cannot take guests.
Which Adelaide suburbs are best for an Airbnb?
It depends on your budget and the bedroom count. Travellers search most for stays around the Adelaide Hills, Glenelg and the CBD, and we also compare beachside suburbs such as Henley Beach and Semaphore. The suburb tables above show medians, rents and gross yields by bedroom count so you can compare them side by side.
How much can an Airbnb earn in Adelaide?
The market numbers above show what short stays within 13 km of Adelaide earned over the last 12 months, by bedroom count, from IntelliHost Market Data. They are market estimates, not booking records, and a single home can earn more or less. Before you offer, we model the income for the specific home and compare it with long-term rent.

Can I buy an Airbnb in Adelaide if I live interstate?
Yes. Every property is inspected before an offer: in person where we are on the ground, otherwise by a locally licensed agent or a qualified inspector. You can start with a free 15-minute call and tell us your budget and the suburbs you are open to.
Will a bank count Airbnb income when I buy in Adelaide?
Many lenders count only part of short-stay income, often around 70%, and some use long-term rent instead. Ask a mortgage broker before you offer. We can give you the income model and the long-term rent fallback to take to your broker. This is general information, not financial advice.
Is an Airbnb buyers agent worth it in Adelaide?
A buyers agent does the searching, checks and negotiation, which suits busy buyers and anyone buying away from home. For an Airbnb, the extra value is the income check: we model the earnings, check council and strata rules and compare long-term rent as a fallback before you offer. Our fee is fixed at $18,000 up to $1.8M, GST included, so you can weigh it against the price.
Can you also help me buy an investment property or a home to live in?
Yes. We run an investment property buyers agent service and a home buyers agent service, each from a $12,000 fixed fee up to $1M, GST included. See the investment property buyers agent page or the home buyers agent page.
