What could go wrong
Soft rental market — higher vacancy, so weigh the income side carefully.
New approvals are running below local demand — a supply gap that supports prices and rents.

Reasonable fundamentals for a balanced focus — 44/100.
Our verdict
Hard to justify for a balanced focusEvery figure on Gapsted's page comes from free, public government data — no scraped listings. Some datasets carry a reporting lag (e.g. Census is 2021, ABS releases settle a quarter behind), so read them as a considered starting point, not live quotes.
