Craignish market and investor summary
In Craignish, QLD 4655, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 3.6% for houses. House prices have moved +10.4% over the past year. At 1.2% 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 3.6% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.2% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 65 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Craignish: people, income and schools
About 2,190 people live in Craignish, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 12% over five years. At a median age of 47, it reads as skewed a little older, and 90% 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 $83,000 a year (about $1,600 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 12.8 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 8 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
