Fyshwick ACT Investment Brief

## 1. Investment Verdict Buy – the Investment Scorecard of 66.0 / 100 is the single figure that drives the recommendation.

## 2. Market Overview - Median house price: approximately $2,429,265 (pending peer validation). - Median unit price: data not provided. - Growth trend: data not provided. - Days on market: data not provided.

*Signal:* With a high‑value median house price and a solid scorecard, the market leans toward a seller‑friendly environment, but the lack of growth and DOM data means buyers should verify price trends before committing.

## 3. Rental Market - Vacancy rate: data not provided. - Weekly rent: data not provided. - Gross yield: data not provided. - Demand rating: data not provided.

*Implication:* Without rental metrics we cannot calculate yield or assess tenant demand. Investors should obtain current vacancy and rent figures before evaluating cash‑flow potential.

## 4. Short‑Term Rental Opportunity - STR nightly rate: data not provided. - Occupancy: data not provided. - Estimated annual STR revenue: data not provided.

*Conclusion:* In the absence of STR data, we cannot determine whether long‑term rental (LTR) or short‑term rental (STR) would generate higher returns. Conduct a separate STR market scan to decide.

## 5. Infrastructure & Growth Drivers - Known projects: data not provided. - Transport links: data not provided. - Employment base: data not provided.

*Drivers/Limits:* No specific infrastructure or employment information is available, so we cannot identify concrete demand catalysts or constraints. Verify local council plans and major employer activity before proceeding.

## 6. Bull Case Assuming the median house price remains around $2,429,265 and the suburb experiences positive capital growth and rental uplift:

  • Capital growth scenario: a 5 % annual increase would lift the median house price to roughly $2.55 million after 12 months.
  • Rental yield scenario: if a gross yield of 4 % materialises, annual gross rent would be about $97,170 (≈$1,870 weekly).

These figures are illustrative only; they rely on data not supplied in the brief.

## 7. Risks | Risk | Detail (where data exists) | |------|----------------------------| | Vacancy risk | No vacancy data – cannot quantify. | | Single‑employer dependency | No employment data – cannot assess concentration risk. | | Supply pipeline | No information on new developments – unknown impact on future supply. | | Rate sensitivity | As with any high‑value property, interest‑rate rises could pressure affordability and buyer demand. |

## 8. The Play - Entry range: around $2,429,265 for houses (unit price not supplied). - Minimum yield to target: cannot be set without rent data; investors should aim for a gross yield of at least 4 % once rental figures are known. - Watch signals: peer‑validated median price, emerging rental vacancy and rent data, any announced infrastructure or employment projects. - Recommended strategy: acquire a house at or below the approximate median price, secure a tenant (or STR arrangement) that delivers a gross yield of ≥ 4 %, and monitor local market reports for validation of price and rental trends before scaling exposure.
