Avalon market and investor summary
In Avalon, VIC 3212, houses show a gross rental yield of 1.8%. At 2.3% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 1.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Houses also take time to sell, around 87 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Avalon: people, income and schools
Avalon is home to around 255 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 16% over five years. At a median age of 41, it reads as skewed a little older, and 85% 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 $92,000 a year (about $1,780 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). Incomes have risen about 19% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
There is 1 school within about 5km, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. Avalon sits about 56 km from the CBD. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
