Mount Kuring-Gai market and investor summary
In Mount Kuring-Gai, NSW 2080, the median house sells for around $1.6M, on a gross rental yield of 2.9% for houses. House prices have moved +1.4% over the past year. At 3.9% 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 2.9% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.9% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
