For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 7.37% (median rent $190/wk against a $134,000 price tag). Units yield 10.24% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (21%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
