For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.10% (median rent $240/wk against a $594,000 price tag). Units yield 6.64% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (11%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +98% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
