Kawana market and investor summary
Kawana (QLD 4701) runs a median house price of $650K, with houses yielding a gross 4.8%. House prices have moved +17.9% over the past year and +76.9% over three years. At 0.7% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.7% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
