Larnook market and investor summary
In Larnook, NSW 2480, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.6%. House prices have moved -0.5% over the past year. At 0.2% 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 2.6% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Houses also take time to sell, around 117 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
