Highest Rental Yield Suburbs in New South Wales
General information only. Not financial advice. Data is updated as new public and government datasets become available.
Rental yield is a useful starting point for comparing New South Wales investment suburbs. It shows the relationship between annual rent and purchase price before expenses.
A high-yield suburb may help income, but it should not be treated as automatically better. Investors should compare yield with vacancy, employment drivers, tenant demand, property condition, insurance and resale liquidity.
How to use this ranking
Use the ranking table to shortlist suburbs, then check:
- current rental listings
- recent comparable leases
- recent comparable sales
- local vacancy
- local employment drivers
- insurance and environmental risk
- property condition
- data confidence
Gross yield is not net return
Gross rental yield does not include loan repayments, insurance, council rates, property management, maintenance, vacancy, body corporate fees or tax.
