Property investment stats for Stanwell, South East

• Investors can benefit from strong rental yields of 5.4%, and even higher yields of 6.5% in the top-performing postcode district.
• The area has seen capital growth of 4.0% over the past year and annualised growth of 5.3% over three years, suggesting a healthy blend of income and appreciation.
• The market is relatively liquid, with properties spending an average of 65 days on the market and 96 sales per year, making it easier to enter or exit positions.

• The unemployment rate sits in the 83rd percentile, which is on the high side compared to other areas and could impact rental stability.
• Owner-occupation is relatively low at the 19th percentile, which may signal a less stable long-term resident base.
• The area’s high social rented housing (86th percentile) could limit the pool of private tenants for some property types.

Looking ahead, Stanwell seems well placed for steady performance. The strong showing of families and younger professionals suggests ongoing demand for both sales and rentals. Affordability remains a plus, with a price-to-income ratio of 5.7 and a rent-to-income ratio of 24.5%, both of which are competitive for the region.

Given the capital growth of 4.0% over the past year and the annualised growth of 5.3% over three years, investors can expect a balanced mix of income and capital appreciation. The area’s liquidity and broad tenant base should keep things moving, but investors will want to keep an eye on local employment trends.
