Quandong is a smaller community of 5 — about 0% of the Victoria suburb median (7,416) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market.

The median weekly rent of $310 translates to approximately $16,120/year in gross rental income, setting the upper bound on yield before vacancy, rates, insurance and maintenance. At 41 km from Melbourne, Quandong is an outer-metro location where buyers are typically trading commute time for floor space and a lower entry price.
