Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.55% (median rent $850/wk against a $1,730,000 price tag). Units yield 8.78% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (17%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +10.2% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
