Woolooware market and investor summary
In Woolooware, NSW 2230, the median house sells for around $2.6M, on a gross rental yield of 3.1% for houses. House prices have moved +6.3% over the past year. 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 3.1% will not cover holding costs in the early years, so the case leans on price appreciation.
