Episode 247: What Are the Top Streets in the Suburb? | Kent Lardner, Suburb Help

Suburb Help is back and in today’s episode, we talk about the top ranked streets in the suburb!

Whether you’re a prospective buyer or a home-owner thinking of selling, knowing the street’s value range can help you make informed decisions about your property investment. 

Our resident data geek Kent Lardner has got you covered with his latest report on the top streets in the suburb for yield. 

We look at both the best and worst streets in five suburbs–Newport, Newtown, New Lambton, Balmain, and Coogee. Aside from the methodology of Kent’s analysis, we also discuss its limitations and how human behaviour comes into play.
