Mount Keira market and investor summary
Mount Keira (NSW 2500) runs a median house price of $1.3M, with houses yielding a gross 3.8%. House prices have moved +4.3% over the past year. At 2.3% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet.
Living in Mount Keira: people, income and schools
Mount Keira has a resident population of roughly 1,691, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. The median age is 40, skewed a little older, and 84% 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 $129,000 a year, or roughly $2,480 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (7 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 9.7 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 35% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
