Lochinvar market and investor summary
Lochinvar (NSW 2321) runs a median house price of $915K, with houses yielding a gross 3.8%. House prices have moved +22.3% over the past year and +57.2% over three years. At 9.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 9.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 71 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
