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.

No open sale-median series covers Mount Barker at suburb 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. Rental depth is genuine: 200 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 suburb-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.

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.
