For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.57% (median rent $373/wk against a $424,000 price tag). Units yield 6.07% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (12%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
