For investors
Investment overview.
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.06% (median rent $300/wk against a $509,000 price tag). Units yield 5.68% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (22%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs. The 12-month growth of +5.6% adds a capital-growth case on top of the yield.
