The average days to sell a house in Morisset has declined in the 12 months to Q1 2020, to 85 days. This suggests buyer demand is on the rise as homes are selling more quickly. Units saw an increase in average days to sell, to 142 days. However, this was based on a very limited number of unit sales.

Over the past 12 months, house rental yields in Morisset increased slightly to 3.6% in December 2019. This suggests the house rental market is in a relatively healthy position, despite a slight softening in demand for rental properties in Morisset across the same time period (down by -16.8% in the 12 months to Q1 2020, with house 124 rentals).

3 bedroom houses have provided investors with +1.3% rental growth annually, achieving a median rent of $385 per week.

Morisset recorded a vacancy rate of 3.6% in December 2019, on-par with Sydney Metro’s 3.6% average. Although the vacancy rate in Morisset has shown a declining trend over the past 6 months, it is still above the Real Estate Institute of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%. There has been improved rental demand in the area, however investors may wish to secure tenants on longer-term leases for increased cashflow security.
