The numbers, in plain English
To rent in Quakers Hill without housing stress, a household income of about $121,000/year keeps the rent of $699.5/week at or below 30% of gross income, the standard affordability benchmark. That rent is the official median for a 3-bedroom house, the most common new lease in postcode 2763 (32 bonds lodged). NSW publishes bond data by postcode rather than by suburb, so this is postcode 2763's figure, not Quakers Hill's alone. Check your income →
To buy the median home ($900,000) with a 20% deposit of $180k, repayments at 6.85% over 30 years come to about $4,718/month: comfortable on roughly $189,000/year under the same 30% rule. Saving that deposit at $1,500/month takes about 10.0 years, before stamp duty of $35k ($17k for eligible first home buyers). Run your own loan →
That price is an estimate, and probably too low. No government publishes open sale prices for New South Wales, so we model it from distance, population and income. Checked against real sales, the model runs about 40% under. Treat this figure, and the deposit and repayments built on it, as a rough scale, not a number to plan around. How we're fixing this →
Compared to the rest of New South Wales, Quakers Hill is more expensive to buy than 92% of the state's suburbs (state median $380k) and pricier to rent than 88% (state median $575/week). It sits roughly 33 km from the Sydney CBD as the crow flies.
For investors, the median rent against the median price gives a gross rental yield of about 4.0% before costs. Net yield calculator →
