GoSiteHunt Research · updated 5 August 2026

The Adelaide Opportunity Index

The suburbs where the numbers line up for buyers, investors and developers — built from 138 Adelaide suburbs' sale records (2Q 2026), rental bond medians (1 January - 31 March 2026), and GoSiteHunt's registered developer buy-box demand. Every input is a government record or a live platform signal — no survey, no opinion.

How the index works.

Each suburb needs at least 12 house sales in the quarter and a rental bond median to qualify. The score weighs gross rental yield (weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median), year-on-year median movement (ignored when a small sample makes it unreliable), the number of active developer buy-boxes on GoSiteHunt whose criteria the suburb satisfies, and sales depth. It is a screening index of public data — a place to start looking, not advice on what to buy.
