By bedroom type
TypeLeasesMedian rentMiddle halfD09 median
2-Bedroom3 leases$4,500 median$4,300 – $4,700D09 $5,400

Estimated gross yield: a year of median rent (leases starting Sep 2025–Aug 2026) over the average sale price of the last 12 months, before costs. No yield is shown with fewer than 3 sales in the year. Rents and sale prices both cover roughly the last 12 months, so read the yield as a guide to that year rather than an exact figure. A higher yield often reflects a lower price, such as an older lease, rather than a better buy.
