For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.40% (median rent $607/wk against a $928,750 price tag). Units yield 10.81% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (20%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +7.9% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
