Lesmurdie market and investor summary

In Lesmurdie, WA 6076, the median house sells for around $1.2M, on a gross rental yield of 3.4% for houses. House prices have moved +17.7% over the past year and +59.8% over three years. At 1.1% 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 3.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.1% and a resident base that is not shrinking.

Living in Lesmurdie: people, income and schools

About 8,413 people live in Lesmurdie, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 44, it reads as skewed a little older, and 87% 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 $108,000 a year (about $2,080 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.2 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
