For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.03% (median rent $395/wk against a $1,010,000 price tag). Units yield 3.12% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (18%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +18% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
