What the data suggests for developers.

Gross yield around 3.6% is thin — projects in Toowoomba lean on end values, not rent. Sell-down schemes (subdivide-and-sell, build-and-sell) fit the profile better than holds financed on rental income. The median moved +22.8% year-on-year on 905 sales — momentum is real, but never pay for it twice: if the asking price already banks the growth, the residual land value has to be run on today's evidence, not the trend line. Rental depth is genuine: 473 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.

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.
