For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.29% (median rent $425/wk against a $515,000 price tag). Units yield 5.91% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (9%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
