Despite what you read in the media, property values are still ahead. Yes, Australian home values have fallen five months in a row, according to Cotality. But they are still up 2.7% on a year ago.

Rents went the other way. They rose 5.7% in the year to August, about $38 a week on the national median.

Lower prices and higher rents mean better yields. The national gross rental yield hit 3.79% in August. You have to go back to September 2019 to find it this high.

This week's article looks at the rent side, and at how regional Queensland is holding up.

In March 2026, the Cairns region had a rental vacancy rate of 0.76%, according to Realestate Investar. That means fewer than one in every hundred rental homes was empty.

Tourism, the airport and a $181 million hospital expansion bring workers to the city. Many of them rent. In the beach village of Palm Cove, unit rents rose 8.69% in a year.

This week's article shows what is driving it. It also helps you choose between a unit and a house.

A fully refurbished loft at West End in Townsville. $539,900, $580 a week on a six year Defence Housing Australia lease, and ready to settle in about three weeks.

New kitchen, flooring and air conditioning, four to five minutes from the C*D at the base of Castle Hill. The rent is guaranteed for the full term by the DHA contract, and the property is DHA managed the whole time.

Townsville was running a 0.96% vacancy rate in July 2026, according to Realestate Investar, so the market underneath the lease is tight.

On a DHA lease, the tenant is arranged by Defence Housing Australia, the government body that houses Defence force families. It rents your property on a long, fixed lease, at a rent that is set and rises with CPI each year.

The part investors like most: the rent is guaranteed by your contract with DHA and paid for the full term whether the home is occupied or not. No vacancy gaps for the length of the lease, and DHA manages the property and restores it at the end.

There is a trade for that certainty, and we explain it in the article. For the right buyer, steady and hands-off is exactly the point.

A brand new two-bedroom half duplex at Aitkenvale in Townsville. $709,900, est. $630 to $650 a week, full turnkey on a single contract, completing December 2026.

On its own title. Aitkenvale is established rather than a new estate: Lavarack Barracks, the University Hospital and James Cook University are all a short drive, and about 38% of the suburb rents.

Townsville was running 0.9% vacancy in the June 2026 quarter, according to REIQ, so rentals rarely sit empty for long.

Most investors hear "duplex" and picture two incomes. So they price the whole building, work out it is most of a million dollars, and put the idea away for another few years.

A half duplex is one side of that building, on its own title. One tenant, one rent, and roughly half the buy-in. It sits in ordinary residential lending, assessed like any other house.

There is a trade-off, and we explain it in the article. For the right buyer, it is well worth it.

Most investors never look past another house. A small industrial unit works differently. A business tenant signs on for years, not months, and usually pays the outgoings, so more of the rent reaches your pocket.

We break down what changes when you go commercial, with four units on the Central Coast from $499,900.
