Dundas market and investor summary
Dundas (NSW 2117) runs a median house price of $1.8M, with houses yielding a gross 2.4%. House prices have moved -2.1% over the past year. At 1.3% 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 1.3% and a resident base that is not shrinking. If you are weighing units rather than houses, a pipeline of new approvals is worth watching as future supply that can hold back apartment price and rent growth.
