What the data suggests for developers.

At around 2.1% gross, rent barely registers against the $1,640,000 median — this is an end-value-led market. A feasibility in Mount Waverley stands or falls on the sale price of the finished product, and holding costs bite harder while you build. The median is broadly flat year-on-year (+4.8% on 121 sales) — flat tape rewards accurate buying, because there is no rising market to bail out an overpaid site. Rental depth is genuine: 219 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.
