Sebastian market and investor summary
In Sebastian, VIC 3556, houses show a gross rental yield of 4.4%. House prices have moved +3.5% over the past year. At 7.2% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.4% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 7.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 122 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Sebastian: people, income and schools
Sebastian has a resident population of roughly 251, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. At a median age of 40, it reads as skewed a little older, and 92% 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 $76,000 a year (about $1,450 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (1 out of 10). Incomes have risen about 22% over five years, which tends to underpin what local buyers can pay.
