Brooklyn market and investor summary
In Brooklyn, NSW 2083, the median house sells for around $1.4M. At 4.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 4.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 153 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Brooklyn has a resident population of roughly 737, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 48, it reads as skewed a little older, and 73% of homes are owner-occupied.
