For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.76% (median rent $520/wk against a $568,000 price tag). Renter share is modest (26%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +14.2% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
