The Impact of Victoria's New 7.5% Airbnb Tax on the Property Market - With Junge Ma

How do large-scale restrictions affect the property market?

 

In this episode, Junge Ma delves into the implications of the new 7.5% tax on Airbnb properties introduced by the Victorian government on January 1, 2025. She explores how this tax could impact the rental market, particularly in Melbourne, where over half of Victoria's 63,000 short-stay accommodations are located.

 

Junge examines historical data from Sydney and Byron Shire, where strict restrictions on Airbnb properties have been implemented. She discusses the effects of a 180-day cap on short-term rentals in Sydney and Byron Shire, revealing the impact of these restrictions on vacancy rates and rental listings.

 

By comparing these markets, she highlights the differences in how such regulations affect larger versus smaller markets, particularly focusing on the unit market versus the house market.

 

Listeners will gain insights into whether the new tax will lead to an oversupply of rental properties in Melbourne and how it may influence vacancy rates.
