Mascot market and investor summary
In Mascot, NSW 2020, the median house sells for around $2.0M, on a gross rental yield of 3.0% for houses. House prices have moved +5.0% over the past year and +2.2% over three years. At 2.4% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.0% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in Mascot: people, income and schools
Mascot has a resident population of roughly 21,591, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 10% over five years. At a median age of 30, it reads as younger than the national median, with renters making up 57% of households. A renter base that size keeps demand for well-priced rentals fairly consistent, though rents do most of the work on the return.
The typical household income runs to around $117,000 a year (about $2,250 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 17.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 34% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
Families have 86 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. Mascot sits about 6.8 km from the CBD. Most day-to-day errands are doable on foot; the suburb scores 83 for walkability and 75 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Premises.
