Clifton market and investor summary

Clifton (NSW 2515) runs a median house price of $2.0M, with houses yielding a gross 3.5%. At 2.5% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Houses also take time to sell, around 231 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Living in Clifton: people, income and schools

Clifton has a resident population of roughly 35, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 41, skewed a little older, and 79% 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 $134,000 a year, or roughly $2,580 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 14.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 15% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.

There are 4 schools within about 5km, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. It is roughly 49 km from the CBD. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 3 for walkability and 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
