Investment overview
Gross rental yield on houses sits at 3.13% (median rent $1000/wk against a $1,660,000 price tag). Units yield 7.39% gross, often the better cash-flow play for first-time investors. Renter share is modest (15%), so the rental pool is smaller and tenant demand can be patchier than in higher-density suburbs.
