Mount Moriac market and investor summary
In Mount Moriac, VIC 3240, the median house sells for around $1.3M, on a gross rental yield of 2.8% for houses. At 6.3% 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 2.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 6.3% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Mount Moriac: people, income and schools
Mount Moriac has a resident population of roughly 251, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 11% over five years. At a median age of 42, it reads as skewed a little older, and 81% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
The typical household income runs to around $128,000 a year (about $2,460 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 10.3 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 26% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
There is 1 school within about 5km, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 3 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
