Dawesville market and investor summary

Dawesville (WA 6211) runs a median house price of $880K, with houses yielding a gross 3.8%. House prices have moved +14.9% over the past year and +58.9% over three years. At 6.1% 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 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 6.1% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.

Living in Dawesville: people, income and schools

About 7,143 people live in Dawesville, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 27% over five years. The median age is 43, skewed a little older, and 83% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.

Households here earn a median of about $76,000 a year, or roughly $1,470 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 32% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
