What the data suggests for developers.

At around 2.2% gross, rent barely registers against the $1,750,000 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Bentleigh stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. Median growth of +8.7% year-on-year on 47 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Rental depth is genuine: 346 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.

Suburb-level sale medians from the Valuer-General's quarterly series (published in arrears). Rents are Homes Victoria bond medians, published for grouped suburb areas — where shown, the rent row names the group. 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.
