Henley Beach market and investor summary
In Henley Beach, SA 5022, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.6%. House prices have moved +5.1% over the past year and +22.9% over three years. At 1.1% 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 2.6% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.1% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
