For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 1.44% (median rent $750/wk against a $2,700,250 price tag). Units yield 3.28% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (29%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +13.9% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
