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.

Gross yield around 3.6% is thin — projects in Willaston 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 +26% year-on-year on 18 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. Willaston currently ranks #1 of the 50 areas in the Adelaide Opportunity Index — the yield, movement and developer buy-box demand mix lines up better here than in most of the state's qualifying areas. 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.
