Richmond (VIC) property development snapshot

Gross yield around 3.6% is thin — projects in Richmond lean on end values, not rent. Sell-down schemes (subdivide-and-sell, build-and-sell) fit the profile better than holds financed on rental income. Median growth of +5.5% year-on-year on 67 sales reads as steady rather than speculative — a reasonable backdrop for a scheme that still has to work at today's end values. Richmond sits at #42 of 50 in the Victoria Opportunity Index — it qualifies on data depth, but the yield-led scoring places it low: prices have outrun rents, which is a profile that favours sell-down schemes over holds. Rental depth is genuine: 214 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.

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.
