Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.17% (median rent $450/wk against a $737,500 price tag). Renter share is modest (13%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +10.1% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
