Year in rents
How the year moved, suburb by suburb
Across the 689 suburbs ranked here, the published median rent for all rental homes rose in 267, held roughly steady in 182, and eased in 240 over the year to April–June 2026. Melville North climbed hardest (+53.1%); Kelston North moved furthest the other way (-41.9%). Another 932 suburbs published a figure but had fewer than 20 bonds lodged in the quarter, too thin to rank honestly, though you can still look them up below.
