Budgong market and investor summary
In Budgong, NSW 2577, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 4.0% for houses. 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 83 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Budgong: people, income and schools
Budgong is home to around 87 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 56, it reads as an older, established demographic, and families account for 84% of households.
The typical household income runs to around $81,000 a year (about $1,560 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 13.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 32% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
