Market analysis
The property market in Rangeway has demonstrated remarkable growth, positioning it as a suburb of high interest for investors and first-home buyers. The median house price currently sits at an accessible $405,000, having surged by an impressive 32.3% over the past year. This trajectory points to strong demand and a rapidly appreciating market, driven by its affordability compared to the broader Western Australian market. With houses spending an average of just 14 to 15 days on the market, the demand clearly outstrips supply, creating a competitive environment for buyers.
One of the most compelling aspects of the Rangeway market is its exceptional rental yield, currently around 6.13%. This figure, combined with a very low vacancy rate, makes it a prime target for yield-focused investors seeking strong and reliable cash flow. The median weekly rent for houses is approximately $450, which is robust for a regional centre and underscores the tight rental conditions. While the primary driver for many is cash flow, the significant recent capital growth suggests a dual-return potential that is hard to ignore.
Demographically, the suburb is home to many young families and single-parent households, with a significant portion of residents working in labourer occupations. This has historically kept price points low, but the recent boom in the Geraldton region, fueled by its role as a key service hub for the Mid West, is creating upward pressure. While socio-economic indicators are lower than in other suburbs, the sheer affordability and high yields are attracting a new wave of investment. Proximity to Geraldton's CBD, just 3km away, and major transport links like the North West Coastal Highway, adds a layer of fundamental value that supports long-term stability and future growth potential.
With explosive 32% year-on-year growth and a rental yield topping 6%, Rangeway is Geraldton's high-octane investment hotspot.
