North Parramatta market and investor summary

In North Parramatta, NSW 2151, the median house sells for around $1.9M, on a gross rental yield of 2.2% for houses. House prices have moved +5.2% over the past year. At 0.8% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.2% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
