Madora Bay market and investor summary
In Madora Bay, WA 6210, the median house sells for around $1M, on a gross rental yield of 3.7% for houses. At 4.0% 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 3.7% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 4.0% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Madora Bay: people, income and schools
Madora Bay has a resident population of roughly 3,830, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 16% over five years. At a median age of 36, it reads as broadly working-age, and 83% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.

At current prices a median house runs to about 8.4 times local household income, in line with much of metropolitan Australia. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
