For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.93% (median rent $687/wk against a $1,217,500 price tag). Units yield 10.68% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (23%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +18.2% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
