Toogoom market and investor summary
In Toogoom, QLD 4655, the median house sells for around $870K, on a gross rental yield of 3.8% for houses. House prices have moved +16.3% over the past year and +23.0% over three years. At 2.6% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 3.8% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Houses also take time to sell, around 98 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Toogoom: people, income and schools
About 2,596 people live in Toogoom, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 12% over five years. At a median age of 52, it reads as an older, established demographic, and 73% 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 $56,000 a year (about $1,080 a week). On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 15.5 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers. Locally, around 33% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
It is fairly car-dependent; the suburb scores 16 for walkability out of 100. Fixed broadband is delivered over the NBN's Fibre to the Node.
