The Yield Grid.
Gross rental yield — a year of rent measured against the price — in every capital. Set a target yield and see where investors still beat it, or flip to the markets where the return is most squeezed.
How to read it: each market’s gross rental yield is a full year of rent (median weekly rent × 52) as a share of the median sale price — before costs, vacancy or tax. Use the toggle for houses, units or all (all blends the two, weighted by sales). In Beats target, markets at or above your line glow green; flip to Most squeezed to rank the thinnest-yield markets below the line. Markets are SA3 areas; thin-turnover markets are held back. Greater Capital City areas, ABS GCCSA. Source: Suburbtrends, May 2026.
Kent will send the full ranking behind this exact cut — every market, by capital city and rest-of-state — and a quote you can attribute, with an embargo if you need one. Kent is available for interviews and podcasts — he'll confirm a time.
