Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.78% (median rent $673/wk against a $925,000 price tag). 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.
