“In Hobart in particular, the number of frequently available whole-property Airbnb listings in December 2024 outnumbered long-term rental vacancies by 36 to one. More than half (57 per cent) of Airbnb listings nationally were managed by accounts that had at least two properties.
“Hobart, Australia’s smallest state capital, also has the highest concentration of short-term rentals. It had a long-term rental vacancy rate of 0.2 per cent in the March quarter, the lowest in the country, Domain data shows.
“It also had the biggest jump in median weekly house rents, up by 7.8 per cent annually.”
