Homebush market and investor summary
Homebush (NSW 2140) runs a median house price of $3.3M, with houses yielding a gross 1.4%. House prices have moved +15.3% over the past year. At 1.0% 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 1.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.0% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 72 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
