Ashby market and investor summary
Ashby (WA 6065) runs a median house price of $930K, with houses yielding a gross 4.1%. 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 4.1% 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.
Living in Ashby: people, income and schools
Ashby is home to around 2,850 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 11% over five years. The median age is 39, broadly working-age, and 73% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
Households here earn a median of about $74,000 a year, or roughly $1,420 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (8 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
