Jesmond market and investor summary
Jesmond (NSW 2299) runs a median house price of $860K, with houses yielding a gross 3.8%. House prices have moved +8.6% over the past year and +26.6% over three years. 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 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet.
Living in Jesmond: people, income and schools
About 3,210 people live in Jesmond, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 31, younger than the national median, with renters making up 68% of households. That renter share gives landlords a deep tenant pool to draw on through the year.
Households here earn a median of about $61,000 a year, or roughly $1,180 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 14.0 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 34% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
There are 54 schools within about 5km, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. Some errands can be done on foot, though a car still helps; the suburb scores 53 for walkability and 20 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
