Gap Ridge market and investor summary

In Gap Ridge, WA 6714, the median house sells for around $875K, on a gross rental yield of 8.6% for houses. At 0.5% 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 8.6% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Apartment stock is taking longer than usual to clear, a sign of softer demand at the unit end of the market.

Living in Gap Ridge: people, income and schools

About 175 people live in Gap Ridge, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 11% over five years. At a median age of 39, it reads as broadly working-age, with renters making up 60% of households. A renter base that size keeps demand for well-priced rentals fairly consistent, though rents do most of the work on the return.

On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
