Bond-lodgement medians from the Homes Victoria Rental Report, Victorian Government (CC BY 4.0), moving annual median, year to Sep 2025. "Low sample" = the count is masked or small at source; treat those medians with care.
A gross yield around 4.5% is middling: it neither rescues nor kills a development case in Golden Square. End values and build cost will decide the feasibility, with rent as a secondary support. Median growth of +5.8% year-on-year on 65 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Golden Square qualifies for the Victoria Opportunity Index at #17 of 50 — mid-table on the yield-led score, so neither the rent side nor the momentum story dominates here. Rental depth is genuine: 306 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.
This page is suburb-level screening. For one property — zoning, what could be built, what a developer could pay — run a GoSiteHunt site check, screen it with the free Deal Killer Checklist, or see how many units fit on a block.

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.
