Condowie is a smaller community of 61 — about 2% of the South Australia suburb median (3,699) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Households here earn $85,540/year on average — 6% above the SA suburb median of $80,964 — a modest premium that supports resilient owner-occupier demand. Rent of $150/week (70% coverage of the $934/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $284/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. Condowie is 130 km from Adelaide, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 61 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider South Australia market over full cycles.
Moderate rental coverage: rent of $150/week covers 70% of a $934/month mortgage, leaving a $284/month gap that an investor bridges with equity, depreciation and tax benefits.
With 79% houses in a 61-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

Condowie scores 34/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a weak rating. That score is driven by a population of 61, median household income of $85,540/year and median weekly rent of $150. Whether it fits your portfolio depends on whether you are targeting cash flow, capital growth, or a value-add renovation — all three are scored with suburb-specific numbers elsewhere on this page.

Condowie has a usual resident population of approximately 61, compared with a South Australia suburb median of 3,699 — placing it in the lower half of the state's suburbs by size. Population is the clearest proxy for market depth: more residents mean more transactions and typically a shorter average days-on-market on resale.
Condowie sits 130 km straight-line from the Adelaide CBD. This is a regional market where CBD distance is only indicative — local industry diversity and commute alternatives matter more.
The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $150 in Condowie, equating to approximately $7,800/year in gross rental income (state median $320/week). Market rents have typically drifted above the recorded figure — verify against current listings on realestate.com.au and Domain before making an offer.
The median monthly mortgage repayment in Condowie is $934, or approximately $11,208/year (vs $1,616/month state median). Stress-test your own borrowing at rates 1–2 percentage points above today's to make sure you can still service the loan through an RBA tightening cycle.
A median weekly rent of $150 works out to $650/month, covering 70% of the median mortgage repayment of $934/month. That leaves a $284/month shortfall (around $3,408/year before tax benefits), so a typical owner-occupier-priced property here is negatively geared. Actual cash flow depends on your deposit, loan terms, ownership costs and marginal tax rate — run the full numbers in our rental yield calculator.
The main risks are a thin buyer pool (61 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $934 median mortgage, the broader South Australia market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
