Kearsley market and investor summary

Kearsley (NSW 2325) runs a median house price of $780K, with houses yielding a gross 4.3%. House prices have moved +11.4% over the past year and +36.6% over three years. At 2.0% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.3% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet.

Living in Kearsley: people, income and schools

Kearsley has a resident population of roughly 838, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 38, broadly working-age, 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.

Households here earn a median of about $76,000 a year, or roughly $1,470 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (1 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 31% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.

There are 5 schools within about 5km, testing below the national school average on ICSEA. Getting around leans on public transport or a car; the suburb scores 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
