Investment Insight

Wyndham is a smaller community of 941 — about 17% of the Western Australia suburb median (5,605) — so investors should factor in the narrower buyer pool and longer average time-on-market. Wyndham's median household income of $63,076/year is 37% below the Western Australia suburb median ($99,736) — this is an affordability play where returns lean on yield and patient capital growth rather than demographic premium. Median rent of $150/week (~$650/month) covers only 53% of the median mortgage of $1,224/month — the remaining $574/month must be funded from other income, so this suburb tilts toward capital growth rather than yield. Wyndham is 2206 km from Perth, so the local market tracks regional employment and lifestyle drivers more than CBD-driven commuter demand.

Investment Strategy

Buy & Hold

Limited buy-and-hold upside: a small population of 941 means liquidity is thin and capital growth tends to lag the wider Western Australia market over full cycles.

Rental Yield

Weak cash flow: $150/week rent covers only 53% of the $1,224/month median mortgage — a $574/month gap that must be funded from other income. This suburb is a capital-growth play, not a yield play.

⚠️
Renovation / Flip

With 76% houses in a 941-person market, renovation margins depend on individual street and aspect rather than any suburb-wide story — do comparable-sales analysis before committing capital.

2026 Outlook

Growth: Low Rental Demand: Low Investor Sentiment: Low

Capital-growth expectations for Wyndham are modest for 2026 — incomes 37% below the WA median of $99,736 and a population of 941 suggest gains will lag headline metro markets. Rental coverage runs at ~53% of the typical mortgage ($650/month rent vs $1,224/month repayment), meaning investors will rely on capital growth rather than yield. The EquitySight investment score of 26/100 places Wyndham in the lower tier of Australian suburbs we profile, and overall investor sentiment is cautious heading into the second half of 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Wyndham a good suburb for investment?

Wyndham scores 26/100 on our EquitySight investment framework — a weak rating. That score is driven by a population of 941, median household income of $63,076/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.

What drives property demand in Wyndham?

The main demand drivers in Wyndham are a median household income of $63,076/year, a dwelling mix that is 76% 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 Wyndham?

Wyndham has a usual resident population of approximately 941, compared with a Western Australia suburb median of 5,605 — 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 Wyndham from the Perth CBD?

Wyndham sits 2206 km straight-line from the Perth 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 Wyndham?

The most recent census recorded a median weekly rent of $150 in Wyndham, equating to approximately $7,800/year in gross rental income (state median $350/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 Wyndham?

The median monthly mortgage repayment in Wyndham is $1,224, or approximately $14,688/year (vs $1,902/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 Wyndham cash-flow positive for investors?

A median weekly rent of $150 works out to $650/month, covering 53% of the median mortgage repayment of $1,224/month. That leaves a $574/month shortfall (around $6,888/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 Wyndham?

The main risks are a thin buyer pool (941 residents), interest-rate sensitivity on the $1,224 median mortgage, below-median household incomes ($63,076 vs $99,736 state median), the broader Western Australia market cycle. Each of these is covered in the Risk Factors section above with suburb-specific numbers rather than generic warnings.
