Rental yields in the Cook Islands
Gross yield is a year of the median local rent over the median local asking price. It is a rough guide to how the two markets sit relative to each other. It is not a return: it takes no account of costs, voids, tax or what the place actually sells for.

|---|---|---|---|
| 2 bed | NZ$529,000 | NZ$650 pcm | 1.5% |

What would make this wrong: It counts adverts, not sales. An agency that lists everything it is asked to and one that sells everything it lists look identical here.

What would make this wrong: It compares what is on the market, not like for like. An area of large houses will always beat an area of flats, whatever the land underneath is worth.
