Big Hill market and investor summary
Big Hill sits in VIC, postcode 3555. House prices have moved +11.2% over the past year and +22.3% over three years. At 5.1% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 5.1% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 164 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
