For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 2.79% (median rent $720/wk against a $1,340,000 price tag). Units yield 7.46% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (17%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +16.5% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
