Milawa market and investor summary

In Milawa, VIC 3678, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.1%. At 3.4% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.

For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
