For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.73% (median rent $250/wk against a $477,000 price tag). Units yield 5.50% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (11%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
