Adamstown Heights market and investor summary
In Adamstown Heights, NSW 2289, the median house sells for around $1.3M, on a gross rental yield of 3.0% for houses. House prices have moved +14.1% over the past year. At 3.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.0% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in Adamstown Heights: people, income and schools
Adamstown Heights has a resident population of roughly 5,621, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 39, it reads as broadly working-age, and 83% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $121,000 a year (about $2,330 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (8 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 19% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 55 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. Some errands can be done on foot, though a car still helps; the suburb scores 51 for walkability and 6 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
