Kiels Mountain market and investor summary
In Kiels Mountain, QLD 4559, the median house sells for around $1.5M, on a gross rental yield of 2.6% for houses. House prices have moved +10.2% over the past year and +38.7% over three years. At 3.4% 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 2.6% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in Kiels Mountain: people, income and schools
About 714 people live in Kiels Mountain, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 11% over five years. At a median age of 43, it reads as 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.
The typical household income runs to around $112,000 a year (about $2,160 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 13.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 20% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 6 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 1 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
