At about $1,280,000, the median house price in Glenmore Park works out to roughly 9.7 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census, which puts buying well above local incomes. Renting is more moderate by comparison: a house rent of $778 a week would take about 30.8% of a typical local household's weekly income at the last Census, a sizeable share, while a unit rent of $620 a week would take about 24.5%, a moderate share. Which measure matters most depends on whether you plan to buy or rent.

Everyone's financial situation is different, so it's important to consider your own circumstances when deciding which suburb is right for you.

Over the past 12 months Glenmore Park saw modest gains in values but mixed rental outcomes. Median house values rose 3.4% and median unit values rose 3.6%, both modest increases. House rents edged up 3.7%, slightly outpacing house value growth, while unit rents fell 2.4% over the year.

For someone weighing Glenmore Park as an investment, these figures point to modest capital growth for both houses and units during the year, while rental income moved in opposite directions for the two property types.
