According to onthehouse.com.au Queensland comes out on top for high-yielding and still growing suburbs. Of 56 suburbs across Australia where the average rental yield surpasses five per cent and the capital growth predictions are at least three per cent for the next eight years Queensland suburbs make up 41 per cent of the list with 23 suburbs appearing. Affordability is a main contributor to high rental yield rates, with 75 per cent of the suburbs on the list having median values below the national median of $491,000 for houses and $452,500 for units. The median house value in Brisbane sits just below the national median at $484,500, while in Sydney the median house value is almost double that at $961,000. |
