Macquarie Fields market and investor summary
Macquarie Fields (NSW 2564) runs a median house price of $1.0M, with houses yielding a gross 3.2%. House prices have moved +9.7% over the past year and +23.5% over three years. At 1.0% 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 3.2% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.0% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 85 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Macquarie Fields: people, income and schools
Macquarie Fields has a resident population of roughly 14,023, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 36, broadly working-age, and families account for 76% of households.
Households here earn a median of about $71,000 a year, or roughly $1,370 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (1 out of 10).
