Direct Answer: In 2026, typical gross rental yield for houses in Ivanhoe ranges from 2.4% to 2.8%, and for units 3.1%–3.8%. Real achievable yield depends on property condition, management fees, and vacancy. Market conditions (June 2026): strong rental demand for modern, well-located stock; sluggish for dated or poorly maintained properties.
Why Yield Varies
- Property type, upgrades, transport proximity
- Current weekly rental rates (houses: $730–$950, units: $420–$560)
- Management and maintenance costs
How to Assess Your Yield

- Review recent comparable rentals
- Factor in holding costs (rates, insurance, landlord fees)
