Rent evidence — asking vs transacted, Wollongong · postcode 2500
$912–$1100/wk is what 5-bed houses in 2500 actually transact for (middle half of 10 bonds lodged, Q2 2026 · median $1065/wk — NSW Fair Trading, CC BY).
2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $535 → $750/wk · +7% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for houses in 2500, all bedroom counts pooled.
Asking rents are what agents hope for; bond figures are what tenants actually signed at (NSW Fair Trading bond lodgements, CC BY). No yield % is derived here: each rent above is a different grain from this home's price, and a ratio of two grains reads as precision it doesn't have. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

⏭ It passed in — what happens next — the question the listing stops at
Across Sydney, homes that passed in and later sold went for about 6% less than comparable homes that sold under the hammer.
Half sold within 33 days, 76% within three months.
Like-for-like within bedroom and property-type groups · 63 comparison groups across Sydney, sales settled in the last two years. Based on passed-in homes that later sold. Homes that never sold aren't in the figure, so read this as what a sale fetches — not what the home is worth. Passing in is a negotiating position, not a verdict — this is evidence about outcomes, never advice on what to offer.
