Bond-lodgement medians from the SA Rental Bond Data — Private Rental Report, data.sa.gov.au (CC-BY, SA Housing Trust), 1 January - 31 March 2026. "Low sample" = the count is masked or small at source; treat those medians with care.

What the data suggests for developers.

At around 1.4% gross, rent barely registers against the $2,775,000 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Glenelg stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. The +13% year-on-year move comes off only 3 sales — too thin a sample to trust as momentum, so weight it accordingly. 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.

Suburb-level data. Rents are quarterly bond-lodgement medians from the SA Private Rental Report; sale medians are the data.sa.gov.au metropolitan median house sales series (country suburbs may show rents only). Indicative gross yield = headline weekly bond median × 52 ÷ sale median — a screening ratio, not a valuation input.

Sources: SA Private Rental Report bond data, SA Housing Trust via data.sa.gov.au (CC-BY) · data.sa.gov.au Metropolitan Median House Sales (CC-BY 4.0) · Indicative screening data — not financial, investment, valuation or planning advice. Area medians can move sharply between periods, especially on thin samples. © Madison Jade Pty Ltd.
