Crestmark is a stand-in so you can see where your branding lands. This brief is area-level only — it gives the market evidence base you attach to your own per-property rent recommendation; it never sets a rent for an individual property. To rebrand: edit the
:root block, swap the .logo mark, and
update the footer line. The map uses Mapbox — replace the default token in
mapboxgl.accessToken with your own free token from account.mapbox.com.
The vacancy module is optional — delete the <section class="vacancy">
block if vacancy is high. This banner never prints.

The market evidence base for a rent review in this pocket — median weekly rent by bedroom, the direction of travel over twelve months, and rental vacancy. Designed to sit alongside a per-property recommendation.
| Bedroom Type | Market Median | 12-Month Change | A Year Ago |

| 2 bedroom | $645 | +9.3% | $590 |

Market median is the Suburbtrends rolling 12-month listings median for the SA2. Use it as the anchor point for a review — not as a property-specific figure.
Positioning a review against the market
Median weekly rent — 16-month trendSA3 series
Rental vacancy rate — 13-month trendSA3 series
Newcastle rental vacancy: 1.6%
A balanced market sits near 3%. At 1.6%, re-let windows are short and the risk of extended vacancy is low — conditions that support holding firm on a review. Where vacancy runs high, this module can be removed.
Method. Median weekly rent is the Suburbtrends rolling 12-month listings median for the SA2, houses. 12-month change compares the current window with the same window a year 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. This is area-level market context and does not constitute a property-specific rent valuation or financial advice.
How to read this brief
Adamstown and Kotara is a rising, tightly-held rental market. House rents lifted 8.3% over the year, with two- and four-bedroom stock leading at close to 10%. Newcastle SA3 vacancy of 1.6% sits well below the 3% balanced-market line.
Together these point one way for a review: the market supports moving a rent toward — or above — the relevant bedroom median, provided the property's condition and inclusions justify it. This brief sizes the market; the per-property recommendation remains a matter of judgement on the individual home.
