How to Buy Property in Byron Bay Without Overpaying

Let’s be real: Byron Bay has a reputation for being expensive. But that doesn’t mean you have to overpay—especially in 2025. With more listings hitting the market and buyers acting with more caution, it’s a great time to make a smart move.

The key? Local knowledge and a sharp strategy.

Byron’s property market isn’t always transparent. Some of the best homes are sold off-market or before hitting the major platforms. Others sit overpriced for months due to poor marketing or sellers with unrealistic expectations. Without local insight, it’s easy to miss opportunities—or overpay for properties that won’t hold their value.

A buyer’s agent can make all the difference. At Chastain Buyers Agency, we help clients access off-market listings, analyse recent comparable sales, and negotiate with insider knowledge. We also help you understand the real pros and cons of each property—like whether a dreamy-looking beach shack is in a flood zone, or if a renovated home has council-approved work.
