Bald Hills market and investor summary
In Bald Hills, QLD 4036, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 3.4% for houses. House prices have moved +16.2% over the past year and +53.3% over three years. At 0.9% 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 3.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Bald Hills: people, income and schools
Bald Hills has a resident population of roughly 7,000, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. At a median age of 36, it reads as 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.
The typical household income runs to around $100,000 a year (about $1,930 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 17% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 25 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. Bald Hills sits about 18 km from the CBD. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 41 for walkability and 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC).
