Dean market and investor summary

In Dean, VIC 3363, the median house sells for around $535K, on a gross rental yield of 4.7% for houses. At 0.5% 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 4.7% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Apartment stock is taking longer than usual to clear, a sign of softer demand at the unit end of the market.

Living in Dean: people, income and schools

About 132 people live in Dean, a number that has held fairly steady 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 around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to about 7.1 times local household income, in line with much of metropolitan Australia. Incomes have risen about 14% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
