Investment Insight

Burramine is a smaller community of 241 — about 3% of the Victoria suburb median (7,416) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Median household income of $110,500/year runs 16% above the Victoria suburb median of $95,160, indicating strong purchasing power and the type of demographic profile that tends to sustain premium property prices through market cycles. Rent of $253/week (75% coverage of the $1,458/month median mortgage) leaves a gap of roughly $362/month that a typical investor bridges with negative gearing, depreciation and capital growth. Burramine is 217 km from Melbourne, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand. Separate houses make up 97% of dwellings — 19 percentage points above the Victoria median of 78% — pointing to a family-oriented, land-rich market where value is concentrated in the underlying block.

Investment Strategy

Buy & Hold

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 241 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Victoria market over full cycles.

⚠️
Rental Yield

Moderate rental coverage: rent of $253/week covers 75% of a $1,458/month mortgage, leaving a $362/month gap that an investor bridges with equity, depreciation and tax benefits.

⚠️
Renovation / Flip

With 97% houses in a 241-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Burramine a good suburb for investment?

Burramine scores 51/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a moderate rating. That score is driven by a population of 241, median household income of $110,500/year and median weekly rent of $253. 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.

What drives property demand in Burramine?

The main demand drivers in Burramine are an above-state-median household income of $110,500/year, a dwelling mix that is 97% separate houses, roughly 1 schools and 1 parks within the catchment. Together these shape both owner-occupier and tenant demand and are the factors we weight most heavily in the suburb's investment score.

What is the population of Burramine?

Burramine has a usual resident population of approximately 241, compared with a Victoria suburb median of 7,416 — 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.

How far is Burramine from the Melbourne CBD?

Burramine sits 217 km straight-line from the Melbourne CBD. This is a regional market where CBD distance is only indicative — local industry diversity and commute alternatives matter more.

What is the median rent in Burramine?

The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $253 in Burramine, equating to approximately $13,156/year in gross rental income (state median $380/week). Market rents have typically drifted above the recorded figure — verify against current listings on realestate.com.au and Domain before making an offer.

What is the typical mortgage repayment in Burramine?

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Burramine is $1,458, or approximately $17,496/year (vs $1,950/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.

Is Burramine cash-flow positive for investors?

A median weekly rent of $253 works out to $1,096/month, covering 75% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,458/month. That leaves a $362/month shortfall (around $4,344/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.

What are the main risks of investing in Burramine?

The main risks are a thin buyer pool (241 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,458 median mortgage, the broader Victoria market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
