Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.96% (median rent $570/wk against a $1,000,000 price tag). Units yield 2.86% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (25%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
