Oatlands market and investor summary
In Oatlands, NSW 2117, the median house sells for around $2.5M. House prices have moved +3.4% over the past year. At 1.6% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking. If you are weighing units rather than houses, a pipeline of new approvals is worth watching as future supply that can hold back apartment price and rent growth.
