Cornubia market and investor summary

Cornubia (QLD 4130) runs a median house price of $1.3M, with houses yielding a gross 3.4%. House prices have moved +13.0% over the past year and +41.3% 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 3.4% 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.

Living in Cornubia: people, income and schools

About 7,810 people live in Cornubia, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 40, skewed a little older, and 85% 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 $122,000 a year, or roughly $2,350 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
