Edgewater market and investor summary
In Edgewater, WA 6027, the median house sells for around $1.2M, on a gross rental yield of 3.5% for houses. At 0.6% 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 3.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Edgewater: people, income and schools
Edgewater has a resident population of roughly 4,657, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 10% over five years. At a median age of 41, it reads as skewed a little older, and 82% 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 $105,000 a year (about $2,020 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
