Longley market and investor summary
In Longley, TAS 7150, houses show a gross rental yield of 3.1%. House prices have moved +12.4% over the past year and +11.7% over three years. At 6.4% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 6.4% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Longley: people, income and schools
Longley has a resident population of roughly 241, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 44, it reads as skewed a little older, and 91% 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 $114,000 a year (about $2,200 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). Incomes have risen about 20% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
