Andergrove remains a sweet spot for Mackay buyers because it still trades around $640k while delivering roughly $680/week rents and yields above 5%, so investor and local demand stays firm. House price baseline is about $640k with annual growth near 20% and stock turning over in roughly 30 days, so the last six months have held steady upward momentum. Recent suspicious fires at Andergrove Village highlight short-term safety risk for nearby businesses, yet 1,780 building approvals in the past 18 months point to material growth opportunity as Mackay infrastructure expansion persists.
