Eastern Heights market and investor summary
In Eastern Heights, QLD 4305, the median house sells for around $855K, on a gross rental yield of 3.4% for houses. House prices have moved +21.3% over the past year. At 1.2% 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 3.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.2% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
