Ellenbrook market and investor summary

Ellenbrook (WA 6069) runs a median house price of $845K, with houses yielding a gross 4.7%. House prices have moved +20.1% over the past year. At 1.6% 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 4.7% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
