Rent on a new lease here rose 39% in five years, from $620 a week in January–September 2021 to $860 in January–September 2026, slower than the Sydney-wide rise of 60%. Over the past year it rose 6%, against a 7% rise across Sydney.
How much of a local wage the rent takes
A year of rent at the median takes 46% of one average local wage of $96,907, compared with 46% across Sydney. That is the 83rd heaviest burden of 218 Sydney postcodes, above the city average. Housing costs above 30% of income are widely treated as housing stress; a household with two average wages would spend about 23%.
Wage: average salary and wages of all residents of 2768 in ATO Taxation Statistics 2023–24, indexed to 2026 with the NSW Wage Price Index. Renters usually earn less than the average resident, so the real burden for renters is likely higher.
Getting your bond back
Of the 293 bonds refunded in 2768 in January–September 2026, 64% went back to the tenant in full and 14% went entirely to the landlord or agent. Across Sydney the figures are 63% and 12%, so tenants here are more likely than average to get their whole bond back (rank 126 of 214, where 1 is the highest full-refund rate).
The median bond was held for 712 days, about 23 months, compared with 575 days across Sydney. Bond records don't say why money went to the landlord: it can cover damage, cleaning or unpaid rent.
