What the data suggests for developers.

At around 1.6% gross, rent barely registers against the $2,715,000 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Glen Iris stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. The median moved +15% year-on-year on 46 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: 158 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.
