Rodd Point market and investor summary
In Rodd Point, NSW 2046, the median house sells for around $3.6M, on a gross rental yield of 1.8% for houses. House prices have moved +10.7% over the past year and +1.9% over three years. At 3.4% 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 1.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
Living in Rodd Point: people, income and schools
Rodd Point has a resident population of roughly 1,380, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 44, it reads as skewed a little older, and 87% 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 $154,000 a year (about $2,950 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 23.7 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 30% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
Families have 112 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, and they test well above the national school average on ICSEA, a draw for education-focused families.
