Westminster market and investor summary
Westminster (WA 6061) runs a median house price of $810K, with houses yielding a gross 4.5%. House prices have moved +20.9% over the past year and +90.5% over three years. At 0.8% 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 0.8% and a resident base that is not shrinking.
Living in Westminster: people, income and schools
Westminster has a resident population of roughly 7,042, and the area has been growing steadily, up about 11% over five years. The median age is 34, broadly working-age, and families account for 62% of households.
