Elliott NT Property Investment

PASS — 3.5% gross yield on a N/A median.

Elliott has compounded at 1.6%/yr over 5 years. Median sits in the N/A band today. Properties are sitting on market for 45 days (roughly balanced conditions).

• Median house: N/A | Units: $0
• Gross yield: 3.5% | Net yield: 2.0%
• 5yr price CAGR: 1.6%/yr | 3yr forecast: 1.8%/yr
• Population: 287 | Owner-occupier rate: 12% | Affluence: Low

• Supply pipeline: Moderate — Development activity consistent with long-term averages

• Vacancy: 3.0% (stable) | Rental demand: Moderate
• Median weekly rent: $150/wk | Days on market: 45 (stable)
• Tenant market — vacancy elevated, negotiate hard on rent.

• Median nightly rate: $157/night | Occupancy: 36%
• Estimated annual STR gross: ~$20,791/yr
• vs long-term rent: $7,800/yr (+167% STR premium — factor in higher management costs)

• No major confirmed infrastructure projects on record.
• Transport: Standard suburban transport access

If Elliott maintains 3%+ annual growth and vacancy stays below 2.1%, median prices could reach $920,000 within 3 years with yields compressing slightly as capital values rise.

A market correction or interest rate shock could see prices in Elliott pull back 10-15% from $800,000, with vacancy rising to 5.0% and rental yields softening as tenants gain leverage.

• Distance from CBD may limit long-term capital growth potential

Elliott carries elevated risk that outweighs potential returns at current levels. A growth market combined with moderate vacancy risk warrants caution. Avoid new acquisitions unless significant discount to median pricing is achievable. Re-evaluate if vacancy falls below 2.5% or annual price growth exceeds 3%.

• Entry range: N/A – N/A
• Minimum gross yield to target: 4.5%
• Watch signal: vacancy dropping below 2% and days on market falling below 35
