Alexandra Hills market and investor summary
In Alexandra Hills, QLD 4161, the median house sells for around $1.1M. House prices have moved +16.7% over the past year and +47.2% over three years. At 0.5% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking. If you are weighing units rather than houses, a pipeline of new approvals is worth watching as future supply that can hold back apartment price and rent growth.
Living in Alexandra Hills: people, income and schools
Alexandra Hills has a resident population of roughly 16,472, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 38, it reads as broadly working-age, and 76% 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 $95,000 a year (about $1,830 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.0 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
Families have 23 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. Alexandra Hills sits about 20 km from the CBD.
