Buttaba market and investor summary

Buttaba (NSW 2283) runs a median house price of $980K, with houses yielding a gross 3.5%. House prices have moved +12.4% over the past year. At 1.4% 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 3.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.4% and a resident base that is not shrinking.

Living in Buttaba: people, income and schools

Buttaba has a resident population of roughly 1,204, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 43, skewed a little older, and 88% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.

Households here earn a median of about $98,000 a year, or roughly $1,880 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.

There are 9 schools within about 5km, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 22 for walkability and 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Curb.
