Kenmore market and investor summary
In Kenmore, QLD 4069, the median house sells for around $1.5M, on a gross rental yield of 3.2% for houses. House prices have moved +15.1% over the past year and +45.3% over three years. At 1.6% 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 3.2% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Kenmore: people, income and schools
About 9,675 people live in Kenmore, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 40, it reads as skewed a little older, and 81% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $130,000 a year (about $2,490 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 14% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 27 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. Kenmore sits about 10 km from the CBD. Some errands can be done on foot, though a car still helps; the suburb scores 59 for walkability and 21 for transit out of 100.
