West Hoxton market and investor summary
West Hoxton (NSW 2171) runs a median house price of $1.4M, with houses yielding a gross 3.3%. House prices have moved +8.3% over the past year and +18.9% over three years. At 2.4% vacancy, it is a broadly balanced rental market.
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.
Living in West Hoxton: people, income and schools
West Hoxton is home to around 10,152 people, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 34, broadly working-age, and 81% 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 $128,000 a year, or roughly $2,470 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks comfortably above the national middle (8 out of 10 on the ABS advantage index).
