Yarram market and investor summary
Yarram (VIC 3971) runs a median house price of $415K, with houses yielding a gross 4.5%. House prices have moved +7.7% over the past year. At 0.1% 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 0.1% and a resident base that is not shrinking. Houses also take time to sell, around 106 days on market, so plan for a slower exit if you ever need one.
Living in Yarram: people, income and schools
About 2,136 people live in Yarram, a number that has held fairly steady over five years. The median age is 53, an older, established demographic, and 73% 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 $46,000 a year, or roughly $890 a week. On socio-economic measures it ranks toward the more disadvantaged end of the ABS advantage index (2 out of 10). At current prices a median house runs to about 9.0 times local household income, in line with much of metropolitan Australia. Locally, around 36% of household income goes to mortgage repayments, a level usually flagged as mortgage stress.
