Davidson market and investor summary
In Davidson, NSW 2085, the median house sells for around $2.4M, on a gross rental yield of 3.5% for houses. House prices have moved +2.4% over the past year and +4.3% over three years. At 3.9% 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 3.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 3.9% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Davidson: people, income and schools
Davidson is home to around 2,725 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 45, it reads as skewed a little older, and 92% 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 $169,000 a year (about $3,250 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 14.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 34% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
Families have 45 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. Davidson sits about 14 km from the CBD. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 38 for walkability and 5 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC).
