Totness market and investor summary
Totness (SA 5250) runs a median house price of $865K, with houses yielding a gross 4.5%. House prices have moved +3.7% over the past year. At 6.4% vacancy, it is a softer rental market with more choice for tenants.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Demand is softer at 6.4% vacancy, so longer gaps between tenants are more likely and worth building into the numbers. Houses also take time to sell, around 94 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
