Bayswater market and investor summary

Bayswater (WA 6053) runs a median house price of $1.2M, with houses yielding a gross 3.4%. House prices have moved +22.6% over the past year and +66.2% over three years. At 0.7% 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 0.7% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
