Glenunga market and investor summary

Glenunga (SA 5064) runs a median house price of $1.9M, with houses yielding a gross 2.5%. House prices have moved +0.6% over the past year and +36.7% 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 2.5% 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 Glenunga: people, income and schools

Glenunga has a resident population of roughly 2,184, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 44, skewed a little older, and 75% 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 $100,000 a year, or roughly $1,920 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 19.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.

There are 56 schools within about 5km, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. It is roughly 4.3 km from the CBD. Some errands can be done on foot, though a car still helps; the suburb scores 68 for walkability and 7 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Premises.
