Hampton’s wrong
manager.
Hampton landlords lose an average of $4,100+ a year without realising it. Not bad luck. Not a bad market. The wrong property manager.
What your current setup could be costing you
Hampton-calibratedSelf-managing isn't the only way to lose money on a rental. An agency that isn't reviewing your rent, marketing a vacancy properly or chasing arrears can cost just as much. This estimates the gap between your property's current performance and what Hampton's market conditions actually support.

Suburb outlook
Market snapshotWe haven't published a full Landlord Index score for Hampton yet. A reliable score needs a suburb-level vacancy rate, and Hampton's isn't available through a free public source right now (SQM Research's suburb-level chart requires a paid data view) — so rather than estimate one, here's what the public rent and price data does tell us.
| Measure | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Median rent, unit | $695/wk | Domain, current listings snapshot, Aug 2026 |
| Median rent, house | $1000/wk | Domain, current listings snapshot, Aug 2026 |
| Median price, unit | $870k | Domain suburb profile, 12 months to Aug 2026 |

This suburb gets a full Landlord Index score (like Richmond and Sandringham) once a public vacancy-rate figure is confirmed for it, or once HTAG Analytics access is live — whichever comes first.

Answer a few questions about your Hampton property and we'll put you in touch with a property manager suited to it. No obligation.
A suburb-level vacancy rate for Hampton isn't available from a free public source right now. Median unit rent currently sits at $695/wk, with houses at $1000/wk (Domain, current listings snapshot, Aug 2026), against a median unit sale price of $870k, putting the gross rental yield at 4.2%.
Without a confirmed vacancy figure, the safest read is the yield: a rental returning close to or above the Melbourne unit benchmark suggests healthy underlying demand, but getting the basics wrong (slow listing, above-market asking rent) still costs more the tighter the true market is. Hampton's rental stock mixes period houses (many renovated) with a growing supply of apartments and townhouses along Hampton Street near the station on the Sandringham line.
