Diamond Head market and investor summary
Diamond Head (QLD 4551) runs a median house price of $1.3M, with houses yielding a gross 3.8%. At 5.3% 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 5.3% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
