What each parameter means

Verify these yourself

No dataset covers everything. These matter to the decision and we don't hold them — here's where to look.

  • Days on market

    How fast stock clears is a leading indicator — it moves before prices do. We have no free suburb-level source for it.

    Count active listings on realestate.com.au or Domain and check their listing dates, or ask two local agents.

  • Auction clearance

    Buyer competition at the margin. Only meaningful where auctions are actually common — in outer and regional suburbs most sales are private treaty, so a clearance rate says little.

    Your state's Real Estate Institute publishes weekly clearance rates by region.

  • Flood risk

    Drives insurance cost and, increasingly, insurability — which caps the resale pool. No free national dataset exists at suburb level; it is mapped council by council.

    Search your council's flood overlay or planning portal for the specific address — risk varies street by street, so a suburb-wide rating would mislead even if we had one.

  • Bushfire risk

    Same insurance exposure, plus rebuild-standard costs inside designated zones.

    Check your state's designated bushfire-prone area mapping — NSW Planning Portal, VIC's BPA layer on VicPlan, Queensland Globe, or WA's Map Viewer Plus.

  • Strata and body corporate costs

    For units this can swallow a third of gross rent, and a special levy can arrive without warning.

    Ask for the strata report and the last two years of minutes before you offer.

  • What the street is actually like

    Suburb medians average over streets that trade very differently — a main road, a flight path or a commission block will not show up in any of the figures above.

    Walk it at night and on a weekday morning. Nothing on this page substitutes for that.

AI insights for Wilson

Investment analysis, risks & comparisons

PREMIUM

Wilson shows strong investment fundamentals with above-average rental demand and a tightening supply pipeline. The gentrification index of 67/100 signals continued capital appreciation potential, particularly within 600m of the main retail and transit corridor.

Key risk: elevated auction clearance volatility over the past two quarters suggests shifting buyer sentiment. Net yield after typical holding costs sits at approximately 3.6%, below the state median of 4.1% — factor this into cash-flow modelling.
