Townhouse pipeline: 30 approvals in the latest 24 months, equal to 0.7% of estimated townhouse stock — Low supply pressure.

* New approvals use the latest rolling 24 months, allocated from the suburb’s dominant SA2 using dwelling-type stock shares and compared with estimated current stock. Townhouses are assessed separately. Approvals are not completions.

Each signal is independently compared with published Australian profiles of the same dwelling type that have that observation. Stock on Market is active sale listings from publicly available sources divided by the selected dwelling-stock proxy, multiplied by 100. An address-based proxy is preferred, with an estimated-stock fallback where needed; houses and units are measured independently. Lower percentages receive higher comparison scores, while missing observations remain unscored. The displayed bar compares published profiles of the same dwelling type and remains independent of formal ranking eligibility. This current snapshot can change quickly: it is neither a rental vacancy rate nor a finding of oversupply. For formally ranked profiles, Best Overall separately includes Stock on Market at a 5% weight within its qualifying formal cohort. New approvals remain a separate pipeline screening indicator, not a finding of oversupply.

Different datasets have different coverage and update dates.

Price medians, rents, active sale listings, building approvals, Census measures, school context and crime indicators are assembled from separate sources. Stock on Market is a fast-changing share of estimated dwelling stock advertised for sale—not a vacancy rate or proof of oversupply. A ranking score cannot replace comparable-sales analysis, inspection of the local housing stock or professional advice.
