Casuarina market and investor summary
Casuarina (NSW 2487) runs a median house price of $2.4M, with houses yielding a gross 3.3%. House prices have moved +9.3% over the past year and +13.6% over three years. At 3.5% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.3% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.5% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Casuarina: people, income and schools
Casuarina is home to around 3,256 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 41, skewed a little older, and 77% 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 $121,000 a year, or roughly $2,330 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 19.4 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 38% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
There are 4 schools within about 5km, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 8 for walkability and 3 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Premises.
