Over the past 12 months, house rental yields Broome have remained steady to sit at 5.7% in June 2020.

4+ bedroom houses have provided investors with +3.8% rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $685 per week.

Broome recorded a very low vacancy rate of 0.8% in June 2020. This represents a stable vacancy rate compared to June 2019 and a declining trend since December 2019, quite the opposite to vacancy rates expectations during COVID-19. Further Broome’s vacancy rate is lower than Perth Metro’s already low 1.5% average.
