The rental data for Homebush 2140 is a lagged indicator. It reflects leases that settled over the past 12 months, not necessarily what a property would achieve today. In a rising market, current achievable rents may be higher than the displayed median; in a softening market, the reverse. Talk to a local property manager for a current-market appraisal if you are making a yield-based investment decision.
