Rosehill market and investor summary
In Rosehill, NSW 2142, the median house sells for around $1.9M. House prices have moved +1.5% over the past year and +13.2% over three years. At 1.9% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

Living in Rosehill: people, income and schools
Rosehill has a resident population of roughly 4,047, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. At a median age of 32, it reads as broadly working-age, with renters making up 68% of households. A renter base that size keeps demand for well-priced rentals fairly consistent, though rents do most of the work on the return.
The typical household income runs to around $92,000 a year (about $1,760 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (3 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 20.8 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 35% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
