Bell market and investor summary
Bell (NSW 2786) runs a median house price of $715K, with houses yielding a gross 4.8%. At 8.4% 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 4.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 8.4% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Bell: people, income and schools
About 44 people live in Bell, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 41, skewed a little older, and families account for 100% of households.
Households here earn a median of about $60,000 a year, or roughly $1,150 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (5 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.0 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
