5.8% yieldWhat this means: Use this to sense holding comfort and tenant depth. It still needs expenses, vacancy and lending costs before it becomes a cashflow view.
1.4%
TightWhat this means: Lower vacancy usually means tighter rental demand. Very low numbers can move quickly, so use this with rent trend and stock-on-market.
+0.3%
What this means: Recent growth is momentum, not a forecast. Strong growth helps only if the suburb still has affordability and rental support.
