Stretton market and investor summary
Stretton (QLD 4116) runs a median house price of $2.0M, with houses yielding a gross 2.5%. House prices have moved +14.4% over the past year and +60.0% over three years. At 1.9% 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 2.5% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.9% and a resident base that is not shrinking.

Stretton is home to around 4,686 people, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 8% over five years. The median age is 38, broadly working-age, and 84% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
