Pink Lily is a smaller community of 193 — about 4% of the Queensland suburb median (5,474) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. At $94,224/year, household income in Pink Lily is within 4% of the Queensland median ($90,298), placing the suburb firmly in the state's mainstream demographic band. Median weekly rent of $350 equates to $1,517/month — about 100% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,517/month — meaning rental income covers most of a typical owner's repayment and this is a genuine cash-flow suburb before tax benefits. Pink Lily is 525 km from Brisbane, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.
