West Wodonga market and investor summary

West Wodonga (VIC 3690) runs a median house price of $655K, with houses yielding a gross 4.5%. House prices have moved +13.7% over the past year and +17.4% over three years. At 1.7% 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 4.5% is neither a standout cashflow play nor a pure growth bet. Rental demand looks steady, with vacancy at 1.7% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
