North Blackwood market and investor summary
In North Blackwood, VIC 3458, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 3.1% for houses. At 2.8% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 3.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
