Annandale market and investor summary
In Annandale, NSW 2038, the median house sells for around $2.4M, on a gross rental yield of 2.4% for houses. House prices have moved +3.6% over the past year and +0.7% over three years. At 1.9% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
