What the data suggests for developers.

At around 2.8% gross, rent barely registers against the $1,761,500 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Carlton stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. The +24% year-on-year move comes off only 12 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 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.
