Bushland Beach market and investor summary
Bushland Beach (QLD 4818) runs a median house price of $780K, with houses yielding a gross 4.4%. House prices have moved +13.0% over the past year and +61.5% over three years. At 3.6% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.4% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 3.6% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
