8/3-7 Wharf St · East Gosford NSW 2250

Rent evidence — asking vs transacted, East Gosford · postcode 2250

$650–$950/wk is what 3-bed units in 2250 actually transact for (middle half of 21 bonds lodged, Q2 2026 · median $720/wk — NSW Fair Trading, CC BY).

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $380 → $600/wk · +14% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four) — quarterly new-tenancy medians for units in 2250, 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 — East Gosford units at auction

Not enough East Gosford unit auctions on record to show a trend — this fills in as the archive grows.

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.

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.
