For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 5.36% (median rent $295/wk against a $286,000 price tag). Units yield 6.44% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (17%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
