Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.58% (median rent $460/wk against a $522,500 price tag). Units yield 6.03% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (26%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
