Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.14% (median rent $580/wk against a $729,250 price tag). Units yield 11.36% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (20%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +15.1% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
