Campbells Forest market and investor summary
In Campbells Forest, VIC 3556, the median house sells for around $670K, on a gross rental yield of 4.5% for houses. House prices have moved +6.1% over the past year. At 7.0% 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 4.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 7.0% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Campbells Forest: people, income and schools
About 50 people live in Campbells Forest, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 41, it reads as skewed a little older, and 76% 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 $64,000 a year (about $1,230 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (1 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 22% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
