Market · house medians

Inner-Canberra suburbs — median, growth & yield

Gross yield = median rent × 52 ÷ median price

Small-sample suburbs (⚠) — Dickson, Lyneham, Garran — have noisy 12-month growth off ~40 sales. Trust Watson (+5.3%) and Curtin (+4.3%). Yields ~3% are normal for Canberra; ACT land tax + rates trim them further.

★ 1 Woolcock Street, Watson — the only genuine sub-$1M freestanding house (738 m², $990k), on the light-rail line. Dickson & Lyneham houses effectively start ~$1.08M (apartment-dominated suburbs).

Western Sydney Airport · yield vs growth

Corridor suburbs — where the next dollar works harder

Driver: WSI Airport (2026) · Metro · M12 · Aerotropolis jobs

Bars = gross rental yield; the badge shows 12-month price growth. The winners beat your St Clair benchmark on both. St Marys / Kingswood post big growth but weak yield (low rents vs price). Austral leads both but has no rail; ★ Edmondson Park trades some growth for a train + town centre.

Buyable houses · real blocks, in range

WSI corridor — houses you can actually buy

Address ↕	Suburb ↕	Config	Land ↕	Price ↕	Read

Filtered to established houses on real blocks (≥380 m²), H&L packages excluded. ★ 1a Howard Loop, Oran Park (683 m², 4/2/2, $1.195–1.295M) is the standout — biggest block, best value, newer master-planned. Edmondson Park adds the train (Talana Hill / Zulu Rd, 500–600 m²). Parked: Austral (only house-and-land on 250–336 m² lots — no real houses) and St Marys (very old stock). With auctions at ~48% clearance, negotiate hard.
