Doolandella market and investor summary

Doolandella (QLD 4077) runs a median house price of $1.1M, with houses yielding a gross 3.6%. House prices have moved +14.8% over the past year and +43.7% over three years. At 1.5% 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 3.6% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
