Warriewood market and investor summary

Warriewood (NSW 2102) runs a median house price of $2.5M, with houses yielding a gross 3.3%. House prices have moved +3.5% over the past year. At 1.6% vacancy, it is a tight rental market that favours landlords.

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. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.6% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 63 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.

Living in Warriewood: people, income and schools

Warriewood has a resident population of roughly 8,379, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 41, skewed a little older, and 78% 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 $135,000 a year, or roughly $2,600 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks among the most advantaged in the country (10 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index). At current prices a median house runs to a steep 18.1 times local household income, so affordability is a genuine constraint on local buyers.
