Burnett Heads market and investor summary

In Burnett Heads, QLD 4670, the median house sells for around $760K, on a gross rental yield of 4.2% for houses. House prices have moved +9.9% over the past year and +40.8% over three years. At 1.8% 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 4.2% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking.

Living in Burnett Heads: people, income and schools

Burnett Heads is home to around 2,908 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 10% over five years. At a median age of 55, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 74% 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 $55,000 a year (about $1,050 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 13.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
