6 Larkspur Cres, Annandale QLD 4814

Annandale’s affordability inside Townsville, direct links to James Cook University, the hospital precinct and defence bases plus a professional tenant mix keep demand resilient even as new approvals remain near zero. People buy here for owner-occupier lifestyle, strong rental yields north of 4.5% and an average marketing time still under a month, so investors can pivot quickly into the tight market. The risk is a constrained pipeline, while the opportunity is ongoing public-sector demand that should keep values supported as prices cool to roughly 1.45% in the past quarter after 17.65% annual growth.
