Elizabeth market and investor summary

In Elizabeth, SA 5112, houses show a gross rental yield of 3.8%. House prices have moved +13.3% over the past year and +69.6% 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 3.8% 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.
