Plumpton market and investor summary

In Plumpton, NSW 2761, the median house sells for around $1.1M, on a gross rental yield of 3.1% for houses. House prices have moved +9.4% over the past year and +27.6% over three years. At 1.6% 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 3.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
