Box Hill market and investor summary
Box Hill (NSW 2765) runs a median house price of $1.3M. House prices have moved +6.0% over the past year and +16.4% over three years. At 6.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 6.2% 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 68 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
