For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.98% (median rent $660/wk against a $1,151,210 price tag). Units yield 9.32% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (22%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +9.6% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
