Definition of Terms Term
What is it?
Median Value
Every quarter, Residex calculates a value for every property in its database. The middle value is found (i.e. middle number when all the values are arranged in order), which is the median value.
The median value tells you straight away what a typical house is worth in an area. By knowing the cost of a typical property in the area, you can tell fairly quickly which areas you can realistically afford to invest in.
Number of Sales
The number of sales figure is the number of sales we receive over a time period from the government after we have taken out any sales that are too high or too low to be useful. In areas where we have not yet received all that quarter’s sales from the Government, we have published an approximate number of sales.
If there is a high number of sales in an area, this tells you:
Median Rent
The median rent is calculated from various sources of weekly rental information such as newspapers and the internet.
The median rent tells you the typical amount of rent per week you can expect to earn in an area.
Capital Growth
The capital growth is the growth in house prices over a period of time. It is sometimes quoted for the latest quarter, and sometimes the average is given for the last 10 years.
The capital growth is the amount by which your investment grows in value. By following the growth in an area, you can find out what your property should be worth or how an area is performing.
Rental Yield
The rental yield is the amount of rent you can expect to receive in a year, expressed as a percentage of a property’s value. Unlike capital growth and total return, which are quarterly figures, rental yield is an annual figure.
The rental yield gives you an idea of how much rental income you can make in an area. For example, if an area has 5% rental yield and a property in that area is worth $500,000, then you should be able to make $25,000 ($500,000 x 5%) worth of rent in a year or approximately $480 a week.
Note: Users should exercise caution when evaluating very high or very low long-term average yields.
What does it tell you?
a) That the area is fairly busy and sees a lot of sales activity b) How confident you can be in the Residex figures, because the more sales we have, the more data has been used to calculate growth, medians and other data.
Total Return
A combination of both capital growth and rental income.
If you have been renting out your investment property, the total return figure tells you what your return is from both the growth in house price plus the cash flow from the rental.
Star Rating System
Residex quantifies the risks associated with the ability of investors to achieve the predicted growth and rental returns of each suburb by assigning a comparative risk score to each suburb. The star ratings are a simplified way of expressing these scores. It is possible for one suburb to have a higher star rating than another suburb that presents a comparatively higher rental yield and/or growth estimate. Similarly, neighbouring suburbs with similar rent returns and growth estimates may have different star ratings.
Two, three or four stars reflect the relative degree of confidence that Residex has in the forecasts being achieved or exceeded, based on the information we have been able to obtain from our analysis and research.
©Onthehouse.com.au
Four stars mean that the suburb is ranked in the top 25% of risk scores obtained. In other words, it is ranked in the quarter with the lowest risk. Three stars means the suburb is ranked in the next 25% and so on.

The Residex Predictions Model The Residex prediction methodology is also unique. How did we work out what the market is likely to do over the next 5 or 8 years? We started by gathering a lot of information. The Residex statisticians used Melbourne as a good base model and collected information going back to 1901 to analyse how Melbourne had performed over a long time period including the Great Depression, two World Wars, and many other events that could have had a bearing on the housing market. From this century-long series, it became clear that, no matter what was going on in the world, the Australian property market moves in noticeable trends and cycles. Residex then investigated lots of different factors to see what their bearing was on the property market: interest rates, inflation, employment levels, population, bank bill rates, etc. By combining the results of these studies with our understanding of past trends and history, we were able to develop the Residex predictions. We have been producing predictions since December 1994, and we are constantly refining them to increase their accuracy. For many years, they have proved to be very good indicators of the property market.
