Sydney Rental Yield Map
— Zoom Out for All of NSW

By default, gross rental yield per postcode: the median weekly rent (from NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements) times 52, divided by the median sale price (from NSW Valuer-General records), for the selected dwelling type. You can switch the colouring to median weekly rent or median sale price. Warmer colours mean higher values; grey postcodes have too little data to publish (fewer than 10 sales or 10 bonds).

No — it is a suburb-level indicator, not a valuation. Each postcode's figures are medians across all recorded sales and new-lease bonds for that dwelling type. Your specific property's rent, price and yield will differ. Use the map to compare areas, then check exact figures with the rental yield calculator or a local professional.

Three official open datasets: NSW Valuer-General Property Sales Information (every settled sale), NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements (every new tenancy), and ABS Postal Areas 2021 boundaries. All are published under Creative Commons licences. We aggregate to medians per postcode and dwelling type and suppress thin cells.

Grey postcodes have fewer than 10 recorded sales or 10 bond lodgements for the selected dwelling type in the data window — too thin to publish a reliable median. Rural postcodes are often grey for units but coloured for houses. Try switching dwelling type.

Gross yield is rent divided by price. Areas with lower purchase prices relative to their rents — typically outer-metro and regional postcodes — produce higher gross yields, while premium coastal areas have high prices relative to rent and therefore lower yields. Gross yield ignores costs, vacancy and growth prospects, so a higher yield is not automatically a better investment.
