Kawungan market and investor summary
In Kawungan, QLD 4655, the median house sells for around $830K, on a gross rental yield of 4.2% for houses. House prices have moved +16.6% over the past year and +35.2% over three years. At 2.4% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.2% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. If you are weighing units rather than houses, a pipeline of new approvals is worth watching as future supply that can hold back apartment price and rent growth.
Living in Kawungan: people, income and schools
About 5,460 people live in Kawungan, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 12% over five years. At a median age of 50, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 71% of homes are owner-occupied.
The typical household income runs to around $60,000 a year (about $1,150 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 13.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
