For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.43% (median rent $420/wk against a $636,000 price tag). Units yield 9.84% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (8%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
