Cootharaba market and investor summary
In Cootharaba, QLD 4565, houses show a gross rental yield of 3.1%. House prices have moved +8.5% over the past year and +15.2% over three years. At 1.2% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
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. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.2% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 110 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Cootharaba: people, income and schools
Cootharaba has a resident population of roughly 866, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 48, it reads as skewed a little older, and 82% 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 $76,000 a year (about $1,470 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). Locally, around 36% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
