Cobbitty market and investor summary
Cobbitty (NSW 2570) runs a median house price of $1.3M, with houses yielding a gross 3.1%. House prices have moved +11.5% over the past year. At 3.9% 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 3.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.9% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
