Market Intelligence
Newport investment operates at the intersection of resort STR economics, Naval Station year-round LTR demand, and Bellevue Avenue prestige corridor appreciation. The investment decision depends on which strategy the buyer is pursuing.
Newport STR ($900K-$3M, 4-6% cap rate on peak revenue): 4-bedroom Newport Harbor-view STR with confirmed permit generates $120,000-$200,000 in gross seasonal revenue. Net income $100,000-$170,000. At $1.8M acquisition the 7% cap rate threshold requires $126,000 net income — achievable in peak seasons.
Naval Station LTR ($550K-$1.2M, 5-6.5% cap rate): Naval Station Newport's 15,000 personnel seeking $1,800-$3,200 monthly rentals. O-4 BAH at $2,628 monthly defines military tenant ceiling. LTR vacancy rates 3-5% year-round.
Bellevue Avenue Appreciation: Properties acquired at $2.5M in 2015 are selling $4.5M-$6M in 2025-2026 — 80-140% appreciation over a decade from a high base.
STR Zoning Verification: Non-owner-occupant investor STR is not permitted in all Newport residential zones. Verify zone eligibility and permit availability before offer.
