FairSquare's model rates Manly, New South Wales 6.6 out of 10 (Workhorse Investment) as of May 2026.
Manly offers a compelling "Workhorse Investment" opportunity due to its unique 12km coastal proximity to the CBD, which attracts and retains an affluent tenant base. This scarcity-driven market, marked by low supply and exceptional demand, underpins its robust 10% annual capital appreciation and a tight 1.3% vacancy rate despite a 2% gross yield. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +10.0% puts it ahead of the broader New South Wales median.
The median price is derived, not estimated. Every number on this page traces back to the model's proprietary yield surface — calibrated for each part of the country and resolved against distance from CBD. The price falls out of the formula.
