Why some NSW postcodes yield double the Sydney average
Gross yield is highest where prices are low relative to rent — not where rents are highest. Inner-city unit markets near universities can out-yield premium coastal suburbs because their purchase prices are a fraction of the eastern beaches', while regional and outback NSW tops the house rankings almost entirely on very low median prices. A high yield alone doesn't mean a better investment: it can simply mean a cheaper, higher-risk market with thinner demand. Weigh yield against vacancy, growth prospects and holding costs — and treat every figure here as a suburb-level indicator, not a valuation.
