Obi Obi market and investor summary
In Obi Obi, QLD 4574, houses show a gross rental yield of 2.1%. At 3.6% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, this reads as a capital-growth market more than a cashflow one. A gross house yield around 2.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 3.6% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 148 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Obi Obi: people, income and schools
Obi Obi is home to around 208 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 10% over five years. At a median age of 49, it reads as skewed a little older, and 91% 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 $75,000 a year (about $1,440 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (3 out of 10). Locally, around 35% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fixed Wireless.
