While investors typically don ’ t target high yields , it can be useful to look at high yielding locations as they tend to be at cheaper price points . More negatively , they often don ’ t achieve price growth that tracks the average .
In Melbourne and regional Victoria , the highest yielding suburbs tend to be in some of the lowest priced parts of the state . What is particularly interesting in this analysis is how high yielding university suburbs such as Carlton and Bundoora have become . Although this is likely due to big price declines we saw last year . Good news is that Carlton price declines in particular have reversed .
