402/8 Ada Av · Wahroonga NSW 2076

Rent evidence — asking vs transacted, Wahroonga · postcode 2076

$920–$1250/wk is what 3-bed units in 2076 actually transact for (middle half of 29 bonds lodged, last 12 mo · median $1000/wk — NSW Fair Trading, CC BY).

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $495 → $735/wk · +6% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for units in 2076, 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.

Growth trend — Wahroonga units at auction

Too few same-bed sales for a measured growth rate yet. Recent quarterly sold medians (all unit sizes — thin samples move these):

2023Q4 $1000k (5) · 2024Q1 $1000k (3) · 2025Q1 $850k (3) · 2025Q2 $1710k (4)

Suburb-level, from published auction results. No single building has enough sales for a block-level series, so this is the honest grain; sales-mix shifts move raw medians, and the measured rate (when shown) controls for bed count.

Planning & zoning — R2 Low Density Residential

Houses and dual occupancies. A protected low-rise street — little chance of towers next door.

Zone R2 (Low Density Residential) under the KU-RING-GAI LEP, from the NSW ePlanning layers at this address's geocoded point — a guide, not a parcel-level legal check. Confirm the exact lot at the NSW Planning Portal.

Construction risk — what no listing tells you

Building Commission NSW / Strata Community Association 2023 Strata Defects Survey: 53% of newly registered strata buildings reported at least one serious defect in common property (39% in the 2021 survey). Defects are common, not exceptional — and new does not mean safe (Opal Tower was under a year old).

Get an independent structural and strata inspection before you commit — the defect base rate makes it the single highest-value dollar in the purchase.

We cannot see inside a building — no one can from public records. This section states base rates and observable adjacency only, and will never call a building safe.
