For investors

Investment overview.

Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.67% (median rent $300/wk against a $334,000 price tag). Units yield 6.49% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (14%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
