Boneo market and investor summary

Boneo sits in VIC, postcode 3939. At 7.5% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.

Demand is softer at 7.5% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Apartment stock is taking longer than usual to clear, a sign of softer demand at the unit end of the market. Houses also take time to sell, around 216 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Living in Boneo: people, income and schools

Boneo has a resident population of roughly 314, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 52, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 78% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
