Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.72% (median rent $680/wk against a $1,300,000 price tag). Renter share is modest (7%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +5.5% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
