Peakhurst market and investor summary
Peakhurst (NSW 2210) runs a median house price of $1.7M, with houses yielding a gross 2.7%. House prices have moved +3.4% over the past year. At 1.0% 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 2.7% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.0% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
