High rental yields can increase an investor’s chances of having a positively geared property. This means the property generates more income (i.e. rent) each year than it costs in interest payments and other expenses. According to the data, these suburbs are where you can expect to find the Australian properties with the highest rental yields at the moment.
How important are rental yields to property investors?
For investors, rental yield is a useful way to assess annual income, but there are plenty of other things to take into account as well, like vacancy rates, planned investment and other factors that could suggest strong capital gains.
Simon Pressley of Propertyology says basing property investments primarily on rental yields is a “flawed strategy”.
“At the end of the day, a few thousand dollars of income per year is nowhere near enough to retire on,” Mr Pressley told Savings.com.au.
“But a property that produces strong capital growth means hundreds of thousands of dollars' equity, enabling the investor to repeat the process, plus the option of converting equity into cash during the retirement years.”
He said the most important consideration should be selecting an area with good economic fundamentals as this is what drives capital growth.
“The next most important priority is buying a conventional asset - a standard house - in a central part of town. When it comes to sell, the conventional nature will attract a larger resale audience than other assets,” Mr Pressley said.
“Apartments produce higher rental yields than a conventional house in the same location, but our studies confirm that investing in asset types other than detached houses is surrendering half, or more, of your capital growth potential.”
What gives a suburb a strong rental yield?
Rental yield is how much income a property generates relative to its value. It’s calculated by dividing the annual rental income a property generates by its market value.
If the value of a property increases dramatically but the rental yield stays the same, the rental yield decreases. This doesn’t mean the property is generating any less income, just that the income is smaller relative to the property value.
Rental yields tend to be higher in areas where the demand for rent is higher than the demand for owner-occupied property.
For example, in August ‘24, the Karratha suburb of Baynton had the highest average rental yields for units in the nation. The median price was only $456,000, but the average weekly advertised rent was $1,325 which means an average rental yield of 15.1%. Karratha is the biggest urban centre in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. If you’ve heard of Pilbara, it was likely in relation to mining - the region sits atop one of the biggest iron ore deposits in the world. Demand for property can therefore be more transient, as miners come and go. This region of WA figures prominently at the top of these rankings, along with other mining centres like Mount Isa in Queensland.
The majority of the suburbs in the top 100 lists are outside of the capital cities of the respective states. For houses, only Darwin City (800), Melbourne City (3000) and four Perth suburbs crack the top 100.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the capitals fare a little better for units. There were 22 suburbs from Perth, 17 from Darwin, three from Melbourne and two from Brisbane - but that still leaves more than 50% of the top suburbs for rental yield outside of the major cities.
Australia rental yields in 2024
Rental yields increase when the cost of renting becomes greater relative to property values. The latest data on rental yields (up to August) suggests the highest rental yields in Australia are to be found in regional Western Australia. The average house in country WA has a rental yield of 6.7%, while investors could expect a 8.3% annual return on units. For cities, Darwin had the highest average yield for both houses (5.9%) and units (7.3%).

After a record breaking period of rental growth, things appear to be easing up as we close out 2024. Domain Research found quarterly growth from June to September was the softest since 2019 for houses and 2020 for units.
“Our latest Rent Report shows all capital cities have passed their peak in growth rates and are now decelerating rapidly with some cities already in decline,” Domain Head of Research Dr Nicola Powell said.
House price growth has also slowed in the back half of the year - although different markets are still at different speeds. Queensland, Western Australia and South Australia, the major growers over the past two years, are still at record high prices as of October according to CoreLogic.
