Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 1.93% (median rent $620/wk against a $1,673,800 price tag). Units yield 2.72% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (26%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
