Goolwa South market and investor summary

Goolwa South (SA 5214) runs a median house price of $725K, with houses yielding a gross 3.7%. House prices have moved +7.6% over the past year and +38.3% over three years. At 0.7% 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 3.7% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.7% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
