Deepdene market and investor summary

In Deepdene, VIC 3103, the median house sells for around $3.3M, on a gross rental yield of 1.9% for houses. House prices have moved -11.9% over the past year. At 1.9% 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 1.9% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.

Living in Deepdene: people, income and schools

Deepdene has a resident population of roughly 2,101, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 46, it reads as skewed a little older, and 78% 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 $117,000 a year (about $2,240 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 28.3 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 36% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.

Families have 82 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. Deepdene sits about 9.1 km from the CBD. Most day-to-day errands are doable on foot; the suburb scores 75 for walkability and 99 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC).
