For investors

Investment overview.

Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.33% (median rent $350/wk against a $782,500 price tag). Units yield 6.66% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (15%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +13.4% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
