What the data suggests for developers.

No open sale-median series covers Mount Isa at LGA level, so the honest read here is rent-side only: real bond-lodgement medians, but no price basis for a yield. Anchor end values from your own comparable-sales research before running a feasibility. 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 LGA-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.

Granularity & method.

Council (LGA) level — Queensland does not publish suburb-level sale prices as open data. Sale medians are detached-house sales on a QVAS contract-date basis; rents are RTA new-tenancy medians for the LGA. Indicative gross yield = headline weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median — a screening ratio, not a valuation input.

Area medians can move sharply between periods, especially on thin samples. © Madison Jade Pty Ltd.
