Hillier market and investor summary
Hillier (SA 5116) runs a median house price of $835K, with houses yielding a gross 3.7%. At 2.1% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
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.
Living in Hillier: people, income and schools
Hillier is home to around 814 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 13% over five years. The median age is 67, an older, established demographic, and 85% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
