St Clair market and investor summary
In St Clair, NSW 2760, the median house sells for around $940K, on a gross rental yield of 3.3% for houses. House prices have moved +7.2% over the past year and +8.2% 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 3.3% 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 St Clair: people, income and schools
About 19,959 people live in St Clair, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 7% over five years. At a median age of 34, it reads as broadly working-age, and families account for 72% of households.
The typical household income runs to around $82,000 a year (about $1,580 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10).
