2/275 Bussell Highway, West Busselton WA 6280

Near‑new townhouse | long market time | 428m² land | short‑term letting possible | tight bathroom‑laundry layout. A property that has sat for over 100 days signals that buyers see a price–value gap despite its modern finish and generous land. The bathroom combined with the laundry is a functional compromise that narrows the appeal for families, while the south‑facing alfresco reduces usable outdoor time. The prime opportunity here is the approved short‑term accommodation zone, which could lift yield above the suburb’s 3.8% average if the council grants Airbnb approval. This townhouse works best as a dual‑purpose hold—owner‑occupy initially, then pivot to short‑term rental to capture tourist demand near the beach. The standout competitive advantage is the 428m² rear block with secure double gates for boats or caravans—rare for a near‑new townhouse in this coastal corridor. The land value alone ($1,867/m²) is below West Busselton’s median, giving you some equity buffer. It suits a buyer who wants a low‑maintenance modern home with future flexibility, not a pure capital‑growth play. You cannot ignore the 112‑day listing; push the agent for a price reduction or vendor motivation before committing.
