Killcare market and investor summary
In Killcare, NSW 2257, the median house sells for around $1.9M. House prices have moved +1.9% over the past year. At 5.9% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 5.9% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 96 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Killcare: people, income and schools
About 517 people live in Killcare, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 53, it reads as an older, established demographic, 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 $98,000 a year (about $1,890 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (5 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 19.3 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 39% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
