Mount Saint Thomas market and investor summary
In Mount Saint Thomas, NSW 2500, the median house sells for around $950K, on a gross rental yield of 3.8% for houses. House prices have moved -0.1% over the past year and +12.2% over three years. At 0.6% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
