Analyst's take

Sydney's Revenue Growth score: 61 out of 100.

Sydney's Revenue Growth subscore is 61 out of 100, one of five inputs to its overall Market Score of 83.

Revenue Growth is the year-over-year change in RevPAR (revenue per available rental), counting only properties booked in both periods so new and delisted listings can't skew it. Sydney's RevPAR is down 3.8% from September 2025 to September 2026.

It is benchmarked against other short-term rental markets in the same country with at least 15 active listings.
