Cosgrove market and investor summary
Cosgrove (QLD 4818) runs a median house price of $685K, with houses yielding a gross 4.5%. House prices have moved +16.2% over the past year and +69.8% over three years. At 1.5% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
