Weekly figures use median rents for your postcode (NSW Government rental bond data, to March 2026), adjusted for a secondary dwelling. Gross yield is on estimated total cost - the home plus typical site works - on land you already own, before expenses. A typical Sydney house returns about 2.6% gross on its price.
