Blackburn (VIC) property development snapshot

At around 1.9% gross, rent barely registers against the $1,673,800 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Blackburn stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. The median moved +15.4% year-on-year on 36 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: 182 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.
