Bond-lodgement medians from the NSW Fair Trading Rental Bond Lodgement data © State of New South Wales (CC BY 4.0), April 2026 to June 2026 bond lodgements (3 months). "Low sample" = the count is masked or small at source; treat those medians with care.
A gross yield around 4.5% is middling: it neither rescues nor kills a development case in Postcode 2850. End values and build cost will decide the feasibility, with rent as a secondary support. Median growth of +9.4% year-on-year on 133 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Postcode 2850 sits at #26 of 50 in the NSW Opportunity Index — it qualifies on data depth, but the yield-led scoring places it low: prices have outrun rents, which is a profile that favours sell-down schemes over holds. Rental depth is genuine: 197 bonds behind the headline median means the rent figure is an observed market, not a handful of tenancies. All of the above is area-level screening, not advice: a specific parcel lives or dies on zoning, overlays, frontage, and the end value of what it can actually carry.
This page is postcode-level screening. For one property — zoning, what could be built, what a developer could pay — run a GoSiteHunt site check, screen it with the free Deal Killer Checklist, or see how many units fit on a block.

Postcode-level — the finest granularity NSW publishes under an open licence. (Suburb-level sale prices exist only in the Valuer-General's PSI files, which are CC BY-NC-ND and deliberately not used here.) Sale medians are non-strata (house) sales. Indicative gross yield = headline weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median — a screening ratio, not a valuation input.
