Mickleham market and investor summary

Mickleham (VIC 3064) runs a median house price of $710K, with houses yielding a gross 4.0%. House prices have moved +4.7% over the past year. At 3.8% 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 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 3.8% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
