Kurri Kurri market and investor summary

Kurri Kurri (NSW 2327) runs a median house price of $700K, with houses yielding a gross 4.2%. House prices have moved +12.9% over the past year and +26.1% over three years. At 1.5% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.2% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.5% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
