For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.10% (median rent $360/wk against a $892,500 price tag). Units yield 2.82% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (23%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +16% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
