Natone TAS 7321

Located in Tasmania, Natone sits 332 km from Hobart CBD, around 3 hours 50 minutes by car. The locality has 288 residents, a median age of 44, and a median household income of $76,076 per year. On socioeconomic measures it sits in the lower-middle tier nationally. Population grew 2.5% from 2016 to 2021. The 2021 Census recorded a median rent of $225 per week and a median monthly mortgage of $1,395. 1 school sits within the locality boundary, and walkability is low.

This locality is too small to rate.

The Liveability Rating is calculated for suburbs of 500 residents or more, and this one has 288. Below that the school, census and safety figures behind the score cover too few people to rank fairly against the rest of the state. The individual measures further down this page are still shown.

Median House Price

Public listings data

The median house sale price in Natone sits at $708,000, broadly flat year-on-year. That said, only six sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

$707,500

Based on only 6 sales — small sample, take as indicative.

Short-Stay Rentals

No active Airbnb listings.

Airbnb only, as at Jun 2026; other platforms are not included. Active means reviewed in the past 12 months. The share is against private dwellings at the 2021 Census.

First Home Owner Grant

FY2026-27

$20,000 for new homes.

$20,000 for transactions commencing 1 July 2026 - 30 June 2027. THE AMOUNT MOVES EVERY YEAR AND THE SRO PUBLISHES THE TABLE: $30,000 (FY2025-26), $10,000 (FY2024-25), $30,000 (Apr 2021 - Jun 2024). We held $10,000 until 2026-09-18, which was the FY2024-25 figure — two years stale, and wrong in both directions in between. Nothing is published beyond 30 June 2027, so this is due again then regardless of the 1 July sweep. No purchase-price cap is STATED on the eligibility pages (an absence, not an explicit "no cap"); the Grant Guideline PDF was not read. Eligible new builds include substantially renovated homes and kit homes. Completion within 24 months of the transaction start date, or the grant drops to $10,000. Separate from the grant: the first home buyer duty exemption on ESTABLISHED homes up to $750,000 closed for settlements after 30 June 2026.
