Dean market and investor summary
In Dean, VIC 3352, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 2.4% for houses. At 1.7% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.7% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Dean: people, income and schools
Dean is home to around 132 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 12% over five years. At a median age of 38, it reads as broadly working-age, and 88% 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 $75,000 a year (about $1,450 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 14.6 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 19% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
There is 1 school within about 5km, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
