Hampton East market and investor summary
Hampton East (VIC 3188) runs a median house price of $1.4M, with houses yielding a gross 3.3%. House prices have moved -6.1% over the past year. At 1.9% 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 3.3% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
