Alexandra market and investor summary
In Alexandra, VIC 3714, the median house sells for around $535K, on a gross rental yield of 4.2% for houses. House prices have moved +7.9% over the past year and +7.9% over three years. At 0.9% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.2% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 163 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Alexandra: people, income and schools
Alexandra has a resident population of roughly 2,801, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 51, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 77% 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 $56,000 a year (about $1,090 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 9.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
Families have 3 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 26 for walkability and 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
