Lima East market and investor summary
In Lima East, VIC 3673, houses show a gross rental yield of 4.0%. At 2.9% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Houses also take time to sell, around 116 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Lima East: people, income and schools
About 165 people live in Lima East, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 53, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 93% 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 $56,000 a year (about $1,070 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). Incomes have risen about 14% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
