Roselands market and investor summary
In Roselands, NSW 2196, the median house sells for around $1.6M, on a gross rental yield of 2.8% for houses. House prices have moved +4.8% over the past year and +16.1% over three years. At 1.3% 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 2.8% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.3% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Roselands: people, income and schools
Roselands is home to around 12,356 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 38, it reads as broadly working-age, and families account for 77% of households.
The typical household income runs to around $88,000 a year (about $1,690 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 18.3 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 41% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
