Houses 46 $670 $2,400 $1,250
Units 125 $375 $1,700 $590
Based on these sale and rental values we can see that for a median priced house, we could calculate the gross rental return as being:
($1,250 x 52) ÷ $1,850,000 = 3.5%
This is interesting although not entirely accurate as we are not necessarily comparing apples with apples. The median house was either 55 Seaview Street, Balgowlah (2-bed, 1-bath, 1-car) or 7 Lombard Street, Balgowlah (3-bed, 2-bath,1-car). In comparison, the median rental property was 6 Bentley Street, Balgowlah, which was a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1-car property. We can conclude therefore that if we were to calculate gross rental returns on comparable properties that we may end up with a figure of around 2.8%.
