For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.48% (median rent $370/wk against a $429,000 price tag). Units yield 9.26% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (10%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
