Caulfield North market and investor summary
In Caulfield North, VIC 3161, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.0%. House prices have moved -10.6% over the past year and -5.3% over three years. At 2.4% 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 2.0% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
