For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.07% (median rent $1250/wk against a $3,142,500 price tag). Units yield 7.61% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. 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 +19.7% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
