North Manly market and investor summary
In North Manly, NSW 2100, the median house sells for around $3.4M, on a gross rental yield of 2.5% for houses. House prices have moved +3.5% over the past year. At 2.7% 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 2.5% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in North Manly: people, income and schools
About 3,396 people live in North Manly, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 40, it reads as skewed a little older, and 76% 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 $165,000 a year (about $3,170 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 20.9 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 32% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
