Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.31% (median rent $1000/wk against a $2,250,000 price tag). Renter share is modest (26%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +18.4% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
