Sunshine Acres market and investor summary
Sunshine Acres (QLD 4655) runs a median house price of $1.1M, with houses yielding a gross 3.3%. House prices have moved +14.6% over the past year and +37.2% over three years. At 5.5% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
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. Demand is softer at 5.5% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
