Rosetta property market
The Rosetta property market last month recorded 6 properties available for rent and 23 properties listed for sale, showing a reasonably active level of market movement. Over the past year, median property prices in the suburb have ranged from $622,500 for houses to $495,000 for units, giving buyers and investors a choice between larger family homes and more affordable, lower-maintenance options.
For those considering an investment property, Rosetta presents strong rental potential. Houses in the suburb lease for around $560 per week, producing an annual rental yield of 5.0%, while units rent for about $485 per week, with a higher yield of 5.3%. This combination of steady weekly returns and accessible property prices makes Rosetta appealing to investors targeting reliable rental income.
In terms of long-term performance, Rosetta has experienced mixed growth trends. Houses have seen a modest annual compound decline of 2.0%, suggesting some softening in values, whereas units have shown impressive capital gains, recording an annual compound growth rate of 16.5%. This indicates that smaller dwellings are attracting increasing demand, likely due to their relative affordability and suitability for both downsizers and first-home buyers.
With its close proximity to Glenorchy and easy access to Hobart’s CBD, Rosetta offers both lifestyle convenience and investment appeal, positioning it as a suburb to watch in the coming years.
