The most common question a landlord asks is also the hardest to answer well: what should I charge? Set it too high and the property sits; too low and you leave thousands on the table over a tenancy. The honest answer is always “it depends on the property” — but a solid starting point is knowing what comparable homes in the same suburb actually rent for.
Here are the median weekly rents across Ipswich’s busiest suburbs, split by bedroom count.
Median weekly rent by suburb and bedrooms
| Suburb | 2 bed | 3 bed | 4 bed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Springfield Lakes | $550 | $600 | $675 |
| Ripley | $490 | $540 | $630 |
| Bellbird Park | $420 | $540 | $640 |
| Collingwood Park | $460 | $550 | $650 |
| Redbank Plains | $450 | $550 | $630 |
| Deebing Heights | $390 | $550 | $620 |
| Goodna | $430 | $520 | $600 |
| Bundamba | $420 | $520 | $600 |
| Raceview | $430 | $530 | $580 |
| Brassall | $420 | $500 | $580 |
What the pattern tells you
Springfield Lakes sits at the top of almost every bedroom band — its newer, master-planned stock commands the premium. At the other end, the established suburbs like Brassall, Raceview and Leichhardt anchor the value end, especially for smaller dwellings.
The step between bedroom counts is also revealing. Moving from three to four bedrooms typically adds $70–$100 a week — a meaningful premium that rewards the family-house stock Ipswich is built on. The jump from two to three bedrooms is often even larger in percentage terms, because two-bedders are frequently units competing at the budget end.
How to use this
Treat these as the centre of the range, not the answer. A median is the midpoint — a renovated, well-presented home should sit above it, and a tired one below. Condition, parking, yard, proximity to transport and schools, and whether the property is in a flood-affected pocket all move the number. The benchmark tells you the neighbourhood; the property tells you where in the band you land.
The most common pricing mistake we see isn’t greed — it’s anchoring to what the property rented for last time. In a market that’s moved, last tenancy’s rent is often well behind the current median, and that gap compounds over a multi-year hold.
