Cobains market and investor summary
Cobains (VIC 3851) runs a median house price of $690K, with houses yielding a gross 4.0%. At 26.4% 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 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 26.4% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 91 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Cobains is home to around 245 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 43, skewed a little older, and 93% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
