Mango Hill Owner-Occupier Success Story: A 4-Bedroom Family Home for $802,000
At a glance: We helped a mum of two buy back into the property market with a four-bedroom family home in Mango Hill, secured for $802,000. The brief was a home close to schools and transport where the family could stay until the kids finish school, in a suburb with a strong growth record. Finance was arranged by Ryan Leahy of Moreton Bay Finance Broker.
The brief: the right home for a growing family
Our client needed a home that worked for daily family life and would hold its value for the long term:
- Enough space for a mum and two children
- A home to live in until the kids finish school
- Good capital growth and a fair rental yield, so the home keeps its options open
- Sound fundamentals in a well-connected suburb
The Mango Hill property
The home we secured is a four-bedroom, two-bathroom house with two car spaces on a 375m² block in Mango Hill QLD 4509, with an outdoor entertaining area for family time. It was purchased for $802,000.
It was appraised to rent for $660 to $680 per week, a gross rental yield of about 4.27% at the lower figure, and was valued at about $820,000 when this case study was first written.
Why Mango Hill?
Mango Hill sits beside North Lakes in Moreton Bay, with two train stations on the Redcliffe Peninsula line (Mango Hill and Mango Hill East), a choice of schools, and the North Lakes shopping and services precinct on its doorstep. That mix of transport, schools and shopping is exactly what families look for. The suburb’s median value has grown by about 8.11% a year over the past 25 years.
