Blue Haven market and investor summary
Blue Haven (NSW 2262) runs a median house price of $850K, with houses yielding a gross 4.0%. House prices have moved +8.9% over the past year and +19.1% over three years. At 1.8% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 62 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Blue Haven: people, income and schools
Blue Haven is home to around 6,563 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 33, broadly working-age, and families account for 80% of households.
Households here earn a median of about $84,000 a year, or roughly $1,610 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
