Investment overview

Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.06% (median rent $580/wk against a $1,462,500 price tag). Units yield 9.10% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (4%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +7.1% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
