Moores Pocket market and investor summary
Moores Pocket (QLD 4305) runs a median house price of $715K. House prices have moved +17.8% over the past year and +74.0% over three years. At 4.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
Demand is softer at 4.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 80 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Moores Pocket: people, income and schools
Moores Pocket has a resident population of roughly 772, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 65, an older, established demographic, and 74% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
Households here earn a median of about $43,000 a year, or roughly $830 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 16.6 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
