Mooney Mooney NSW Property Investment

THE MARKET

Mooney Mooney recorded 1.6% annual price growth over the past 5 years — a $1,575,000 house bought in 2019 would be worth approximately $1,454,829 today. Properties are sitting on the market for 30 days (roughly balanced conditions).

- **Median house:** $1,575,000 | **Units:** $0 - **Gross yield:** 3.5% | **Net yield:** 2.0% - **Vacancy:** 3.0% (stable) | **Rental demand:** Moderate - **5yr price growth:** 1.6%/yr | **3yr forecast:** 1.8%/yr - **Days on market:** 30 (stable)

STR potential: $195/night at 68% occupancy = ~$48,399/yr gross. Long-term at $0/yr may be simpler with comparable returns.

BULL CASE

If Mooney Mooney maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $1,811,250 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

Notable infrastructure: **Peats Ferry Bridge Restoration** (completed). Plus 2 more projects in the pipeline.

BEAR CASE

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Mooney Mooney pull back 10-15% from $1,575,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

WHAT TO DO

Mooney Mooney offers balanced fundamentals but does not present an urgent buying signal. The market is in a growth phase with moderate vacancy risk. Monitor vacancy trends and price movements over the next 6-12 months. Only enter if a property can be acquired at or below median pricing with yields exceeding 4.0%.

- Entry range: $1,417,500 – $1,732,500 - Minimum yield to target: 4.5% - Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market holding under 35
