Question 1

Is Temora a nice place to live?

Accepted Answer

Temora is a compact rural service town in the Riverina that acts as a hub for surrounding farms. Its 4,706 residents include multi-generational farming families, commuters to nearby centres and an established retiree community. Housing mixes weatherboard cottages and brick homes along tree-lined streets with larger rural properties on the town fringe, and the population has a median age of 48.

Everyday life centres on a main street of shops, cafes and essential services, with schools, sporting clubs and a regional health centre close by. A major redevelopment of the Temora Health Service is under way to deliver an integrated facility with emergency, inpatient, perioperative and expanded imaging services, and the Temora Aviation Museum and active aerodrome bring a regular flow of visitors. With about 74.2% owner-occupation, the town reads as an established, community-focused regional centre; whether it suits you depends on the kind of rural service-town lifestyle you want.

Question 2

Is it expensive to live in Temora?

Accepted Answer

A median house price of $408,000 in Temora works out to about 6.7 times a typical local household's annual income at the last Census (weekly household income $1,165). That puts buying well above what local households earned at the last Census. Looking at renting, a house at $450 a week would take about 38.6% of a typical local household's weekly income, a sizeable share, while a unit at $340 a week would take about 29.2%, a moderate share. On these figures renting, particularly a unit, looks less stretched against local incomes than buying, though whether that feels expensive depends on your own circumstances.

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

Question 3

Is Temora a good place to invest?

Accepted Answer

The clearest movement in Temora over the past year is in house rents, which climbed 18.4%, a strong rise. House values rose 4.4% over the same period, a modest increase, so for houses rental income has outpaced capital growth this year.

Unit rents were up 3.7%, a modest rise, meaning the uplift in rental income has been much larger on the house side than on the unit side. Which of those outcomes matters to you will depend on whether you prioritise rental income or capital growth.
