Emu Flat market and investor summary
Emu Flat (VIC 3522) runs a median house price of $680K, with houses yielding a gross 2.8%. At 3.8% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.8% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
