Kiama Heights market and investor summary
Kiama Heights (NSW 2533) runs a median house price of $1.6M, with houses yielding a gross 3.0%. House prices have moved -1.4% over the past year. At 3.7% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.0% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.7% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 115 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Kiama Heights: people, income and schools
About 878 people live in Kiama Heights, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 47, skewed a little older, and 86% 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 $91,000 a year, or roughly $1,760 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
