For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 1.13% (median rent $500/wk against a $2,300,000 price tag). Units yield 2.34% 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. The 12-month growth of +8.5% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
