Bridgewater market and investor summary
In Bridgewater, VIC 3516, the median house sells for around $665K, on a gross rental yield of 3.0% for houses. At 0.8% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.0% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Bridgewater: people, income and schools
Bridgewater is home to around 133 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 49, it reads as skewed a little older, and 89% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $92,000 a year (about $1,770 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 about 7.2 times local household income, in line with much of metropolitan Australia.
