For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.72% (median rent $720/wk against a $792,750 price tag). Units yield 9.41% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (25%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +5.7% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
