Victoria groups its suburbs into thirteen regions and publishes a median for each, computed over every lease in the region.
At $590 a week, Outer Eastern Melbourne is higher than 69% of the 13 VIC regions we hold.
Rents there are up 7.3% over the past year, faster than the typical VIC region (up 4.8%).
Based on 6,617 new leases, which is a large enough sample to be steady quarter to quarter.
Moving annual median, being the median across every lease signed in the preceding twelve months, which is smoother than a quarterly figure and lags one.
Ranked by the same figure in the same quarter, so they are comparable. Sort by any column, or search the list by name.

The latest figures here cover the twelve months to September quarter 2025, which ended 30 September 2025. December quarter 2025 has since closed and no figures for it have appeared here. Either the publisher has not released it or we have not yet retrieved it; we do not guess which, and nothing here is filled in meanwhile.
The rent figures here are published by Department of Families, Fairness and Housing and used under an open licence. Any other figure on this page names its own publisher on the line it appears on. Every rent figure is either as published or arithmetic on figures as published. APRIQ models and estimates nothing: where a figure is a publisher’s own estimate — an estimated resident population is one — it is called an estimate where it is shown. Growth is measured between named quarters, never by counting back rows, because an area is published only when it clears the publisher’s reporting threshold. The figure for Outer Eastern Melbourne is the publisher’s own, computed over every bond in the region rather than averaged from the suburbs inside it. Method, sources and licences.
