Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 4.33% (median rent $450/wk against a $540,000 price tag). Renter share is modest (26%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +10.2% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
