FairSquare's model rates Unley, South Australia 7.4 out of 10 (Steady Buy) as of May 2026.
Unley's prime inner-city location, just 4km from the CBD, underpins its robust investment appeal, driven by critical supply scarcity and an exceptionally low 0.7% vacancy rate. This intense demand has fueled 13.5% median price growth over the last year, establishing it as a strong capital appreciation play despite a lower gross yield. The market has started re-rating this location — 12-month growth of +13.5% puts it ahead of the broader South Australia median. Depth of owner-occupier demand creates a reliable price floor through cycle downturns.
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.
