How is YoY rent change calculated for Fastest Rising Rents?

For QLD and VIC, we compare the latest quarterly suburb median rent against the same quarter one year earlier. For WA, we compare the latest monthly suburb median rent against the same month one year earlier. For NSW, we compare the latest monthly postcode-derived median rent against the same month one year earlier.

Which suburbs are included?

NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, and TAS suburbs are included when population is over 500 and enough trend history exists. NSW rows use postcode-derived rent, so multiple suburbs can share the same rent signal.

QuickProperty currently has enough processed rent trend coverage for NSW, VIC, QLD, SA, WA, and TAS. ACT and NT are kept out of rent-specific ranking scopes until source coverage is strong enough for a comparable screen.

Should rising rent change my investment decision?

Rising rents tighten yields when prices keep pace and can signal demand pressure, but they can also reflect supply shocks or sample noise. Verify with the suburb page before acting.

How to read this ranking

Use rising rents to spot rental-market pressure, then verify why it is moving.

BEST FOR

Surfacing suburbs where weekly rent is moving fastest year-on-year.

This list works best when you want to find where rental demand is intensifying in NSW.

READ IT AS

A rent-pressure signal, not a buy signal.

High YoY rent growth often reflects supply tightness, returning workers, or migration. NSW rows are postcode-derived, so treat shared postcode signals as directional.

NEXT STEP

Check yield, price, and population context.

Open the suburb pages to confirm the rise is durable rather than a thin-sample bounce, and to weigh affordability and yield context.

VERIFY evidence

Rent-source screen

Rent rankings use state rent feeds with different grains and cadences. Use them to find pressure, then open suburb detail before treating the signal as final.

SHORTLIST SCREEN

Top candidates are research leads.

Save a small working set, then use compare and evidence depth before treating any row as a decision.

Shortlist flow

Use #1 Quirindi and #2 West Wyalong as the first compare pair.

Rankings are strongest when they hand you a shortlist quickly. Compare the top two first, then open suburb detail if the head-to-head result still feels narrow.
