Hampton Park rental market

In Hampton Park, houses rent for a median $550 a week and units for $470 (Victorian rental report, September 2025). A median is the middle of the new rentals recorded in the period: half cost more and half cost less, so a specific property can sit well away from it.

About 4.2% for houses: $550 a week is $28,600 a year against a median house price of $675,000 (Median · Land Victoria · the latest published quarter (updated May 2026)).

No. A rental appraisal from a property manager is free: the agency provides it in the hope of winning the management of your property, and you are under no obligation to appoint them. It is different from a valuation by a licensed valuer, which is a paid written report used by lenders and courts. Ask two or three local agencies for one and compare their fee schedules with the table on this page before you choose.

A property manager looks at the property, in person or from photos and a description, and compares it with similar properties recently let nearby: the same suburb, dwelling type and bedroom count. They give you a rent range, usually as a weekly figure, and explain what moves it, such as condition, parking, air conditioning and whether pets are allowed. In Hampton Park the median house rent is $550 a week (Victorian rental report, September 2025), which is the middle of the market rather than a quote for your property. The appraisal comes in writing, and you can ask for the agency's fee schedule with it so you can compare it with the table on this page.
