Chevallum market and investor summary
In Chevallum, QLD 4555, houses show a gross rental yield of 1.9%. House prices have moved +11.1% over the past year and +30.6% over three years. At 8.4% 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 1.9% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 8.4% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 68 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Chevallum: people, income and schools
Chevallum is home to around 467 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 17% over five years. At a median age of 45, it reads as skewed a little older, and 78% 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 $105,000 a year (about $2,020 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). Incomes have risen about 20% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 7 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 2 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
