Crestmark is a stand-in so you can see where your branding lands. This is the annual retention piece sent once a year to each landlord — it reframes the management fee as market advice. It is area-level only: it reports the SA2 market, not an individual property's performance. To rebrand: edit the
:root block, swap the .logo mark, update the footer line.
The map uses Mapbox — replace the default token in mapboxgl.accessToken

optional — delete the <section class="vacancy"> block if vacancy
is high. This banner never prints.
FY 2025–26
Your year in Adamstown & Kotara.
A twelve-month read on the market your investment sits in — how rents moved, how house values tracked, and how tight the rental market stayed. The context behind every decision we made on your behalf this year.
Median house value — 16-month trendSA3 series
Median weekly rent — 16-month trendSA3 series
The two returns, side by side
Rental vacancy rate — 13-month trendSA3 series
Looking to the year ahead
With vacancy structurally tight and both rents and values still rising, the conditions that supported your investment this year remain in place. We will continue to review your rent against the market, manage re-letting to minimise vacancy, and keep you informed each month.
Thank you for trusting Crestmark Property with your investment over the past year. We look forward to managing it for you in FY 2026–27.
A year of low vacancy: 1.6%
Vacancy stayed below the 3% balanced line for the full year — short re-let windows and low income disruption. Where vacancy runs high, this module can be removed so the review stays on-message.
Method. Median weekly rent and median house value are the Suburbtrends rolling 12-month listings and sale medians for the SA2, houses. Annual change compares the current window with the same window twelve months earlier. Time-series charts use SA3-level data for a stable, statistically reliable signal. Vacancy is the 3-month rolling rate for the Newcastle SA3. Figures describe the area market and do not represent the performance of any individual property; this is general information only and not financial advice.
