Property investment numbers, suburb by suburb.
Each Popurise suburb page shows what an apartment there costs to buy and own: the local median price and rent, the weekly cost once the loan and holding costs are in, and the cash you need before buying. Every assumption is yours to change.
- 01
Median apartment price
What a typical apartment in the suburb has sold for, from recent sales.
- 02
Median weekly rent
What a typical apartment there rents for each week, from recent rental bonds.
- 03
Weekly cost to own
The loan repayment and holding costs each week, after the rent comes in.
- 04
Cash needed before buying
The deposit, stamp duty and buying costs to complete the purchase.

02 · What you get
What each suburb page shows
Local price and rent data is combined with a standard set of editable assumptions, so every page answers the same questions in the same way.
- Local median price
The typical recent sale price for that property type in the suburb, labelled as a median.
- Local median rent
The typical weekly rent from recent bonds, so the numbers reflect the local market.
- Estimated weekly ownership costs
Loan repayment, strata, rates, insurance, management, vacancy and repairs, less the rent.
- Cash needed before buying
Deposit, stamp duty and the usual buying costs, so the upfront amount is clear.
- Adjustable assumptions
Change the price, rent, deposit and loan and every number updates on the page.
- Assumptions and sources
Each figure is marked as local data or an assumption, with the source and period shown.
03 · Example vs listing
A suburb example, not a listing
Suburb pages use local medians as a worked example. To check a specific apartment, analyse the actual listing in Popurise Investor.
Suburb page
A local example
Uses the suburb median price and rent for the property type. It shows how the numbers work for a typical apartment, so it is a starting point, not a valuation of any particular property.
Popurise Investor
The actual property
Takes a real listing, its price, expected rent, strata and your loan, and works the numbers for that specific apartment, with the assumptions set to your situation.
Important information
Popurise provides general information and calculation tools. It is not financial, credit, tax or legal advice, a property valuation, a forecast or a recommendation to buy, sell or choose a particular loan. It does not consider your goals, financial situation or needs.
Suburb figures are local medians, not the value of a specific property. Real prices, rents, costs and loan terms vary by property and borrower. Consider independent professional advice before acting.
