Rivertonโs midโ$400k median, up about 25% over the past year, shows affordability plus a quieter Clare and Gilbert Valleys lifestyle are keeping demand solid. Buyers want entryโlevel family homes near local schools and services while investors are drawn by a nearโ5% gross rental yield and very few listings. The older demographic and reliance on regional employment create some risk, but limited stock and ongoing regional investment continue to push prices higher over the past six months.
