For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.29% (median rent $795/wk against a $1,802,500 price tag). Units yield 8.33% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (22%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +12.7% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
