Riverstone market and investor summary
In Riverstone, NSW 2765, the median house sells for around $1.2M, on a gross rental yield of 2.9% for houses. House prices have moved +6.2% over the past year. At 3.3% 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 2.9% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
