Oxley market and investor summary

In Oxley, ACT 2903, the median house sells for around $970K, on a gross rental yield of 4.0% for houses. House prices have moved -3.9% over the past year and +4.1% over three years. At 0.1% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet.
