Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.25% (median rent $980/wk against a $1,567,500 price tag). Units yield 9.50% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (19%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
