Cougal market and investor summary
Cougal (NSW 2474) runs a median house price of $545K, with houses yielding a gross 3.9%. At 10.3% 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 3.9% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 10.3% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
