Hexham market and investor summary
Hexham (NSW 2322) runs a median house price of $835K, with houses yielding a gross 2.8%. At 1.6% 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 2.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
