Meadowbank market and investor summary
In Meadowbank, NSW 2114, the median house sells for around $2.7M, on a gross rental yield of 1.5% for houses. At 2.1% 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 1.5% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in Meadowbank: people, income and schools
About 5,089 people live in Meadowbank, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 6% over five years. At a median age of 34, it reads as broadly working-age, with renters making up 59% 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 $104,000 a year (about $1,990 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 26.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 18% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
