Fulham market and investor summary
Fulham (SA 5024) runs a median house price of $1.6M, with houses yielding a gross 2.7%. House prices have moved +10.3% over the past year and +34.2% over three years. At 1.4% 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 2.7% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.4% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Fulham: people, income and schools
Fulham is home to around 2,920 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. The median age is 44, skewed a little older, and 72% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
Households here earn a median of about $91,000 a year, or roughly $1,750 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (8 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 17.8 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 32% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
There are 32 schools within about 5km, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. It is roughly 7.9 km from the CBD.
