Investment overview

Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.50% (median rent $390/wk against a $579,000 price tag). Renter share is modest (11%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +19.4% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
