Run-O-Waters market and investor summary
In Run-O-Waters, NSW 2580, the median house sells for around $1.4M, on a gross rental yield of 2.2% for houses. House prices have moved +5.4% over the past year. At 0.8% 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 2.2% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 119 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Run-O-Waters: people, income and schools
Run-O-Waters is home to around 605 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 46, it reads as skewed a little older, and 93% 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 $116,000 a year (about $2,230 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks around the national middle on the ABS advantage index (4 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 11.7 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Incomes have risen about 18% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
Families have 5 schools within roughly 5km to choose from, testing close to the national school average on ICSEA. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
