Pottsville market and investor summary

In Pottsville, NSW 2489, the median house sells for around $1.5M, on a gross rental yield of 3.5% for houses. House prices have moved +7.5% over the past year and +19.2% over three years. At 2.5% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Houses also take time to sell, around 67 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Living in Pottsville: people, income and schools

Pottsville has a resident population of roughly 7,238, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 42, it reads as skewed a little older, and 76% 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 $81,000 a year (about $1,560 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (6 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 18.7 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 34% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.

Families have 2 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing a little above the national school average on ICSEA. It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 9 for walkability and 1 for transit out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
