Apple Tree Creek market and investor summary

In Apple Tree Creek, QLD 4660, the median house sells for around $660K, on a gross rental yield of 4.1% for houses. House prices have moved +17.9% over the past year and +57.5% over three years. At 4.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.1% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 4.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 66 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Living in Apple Tree Creek: people, income and schools

Apple Tree Creek is home to around 726 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 15% over five years. At a median age of 49, it reads as skewed a little older, and 80% 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 $52,000 a year (about $990 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (1 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.8 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 40% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.

Families have 3 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing below the national school average on ICSEA. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
