Cambridge Gardens market and investor summary
Cambridge Gardens (NSW 2747) runs a median house price of $980K, with houses yielding a gross 3.4%. House prices have moved +6.9% over the past year and +22.5% over three years. At 2.7% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
