Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.31% (median rent $950/wk against a $1,146,000 price tag). Units yield 11.98% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (16%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +8.3% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
