Buchanan market and investor summary
Buchanan (NSW 2323) runs a median house price of $900K, with houses yielding a gross 4.0%. At 1.9% 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 1.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 70 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
