Crestmead market and investor summary
In Crestmead, QLD 4132, the median house sells for around $860K, on a gross rental yield of 3.7% for houses. House prices have moved +18.1% over the past year and +58.6% over three years. 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 3.7% 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.
