Scone market and investor summary

In Scone, NSW 2337, the median house sells for around $660K, on a gross rental yield of 4.5% for houses. House prices have moved +9.4% over the past year and +35.7% over three years. At 0.8% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
