Tennyson market and investor summary
Tennyson (NSW 2758) runs a median house price of $1.5M, with houses yielding a gross 2.4%. House prices have moved +3.0% over the past year. At 4.2% 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 2.4% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation. Demand is softer at 4.2% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers.
Living in Tennyson: people, income and schools
Tennyson is home to around 379 people. The median age is 47, skewed a little older, and 79% of homes are owner-occupied. Owner-occupiers dominate, so stock turns over slowly and listings can be thin when you are trying to buy.
Households here earn a median of about $111,000 a year, or roughly $2,130 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (9 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
