Your Byron Bay Mortgage Broker
Byron Bay's property market is one of Australia's most distinctive — small stock, high demand, premium prices, and complex lending considerations around Airbnb/short-term-letting income, holiday homes and dual-occupancy properties. Esteb & Co services Byron Bay, Suffolk Park, Lennox Head and the wider Northern Rivers from our Ashmore office (60 minutes north) via in-person or video meetings.
The Byron Bay Property Market
Byron's market has grown approximately 78% over 5 years, making it the highest-priced regional area in NSW. Lender policy around Byron can be restrictive — some banks apply 80% LVR caps, short-term-rental income shading at 50%, and in-depth valuation scrutiny. Non-bank and specialist lenders are often the right fit for holiday-home and Airbnb-led purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions — Byron Bay
What's the median house price in Byron Bay?
The Byron Bay 2481 house median was approximately $1,895,000 in March 2026 (CoreLogic) — one of the highest regional medians in Australia.
Can I finance a Byron Bay Airbnb or short-term-let investment?
Yes, but lender choice is critical. Most big banks will shade short-term-rental income by 40-50%; specialist lenders accept it at 70-80%. We match the property and income structure to the right lender.
Does Esteb & Co service Byron Bay from the Gold Coast?
Yes — Byron Bay is approximately 60 minutes south of our Ashmore office. Most clients prefer video meetings, though in-person meetings can be arranged on either side of the Tweed.
Are there NSW-specific grants for first home buyers in Byron?
Yes. NSW First Home Buyer Assistance Scheme (FHBAS) gives full stamp duty exemption up to $800,000 and concessions up to $1,000,000. We apply these to your Byron serviceability calculations.
Can I borrow against a dual-occupancy or granny-flat Byron property?
Yes. Dual-occupancy income is accepted by most lenders (at 75-80% shading). Granny-flat income is more variable — some lenders don't count it at all. We match the structure to a lender that will.
