Tuncurry market and investor summary
Tuncurry (NSW 2428) runs a median house price of $860K, with houses yielding a gross 4.0%. House prices have moved +4.8% over the past year and +12.2% over three years. At 0.6% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.
For an investor, the rent-to-price profile sits mid-range: a gross house yield near 4.0% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 0.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
