Capital growth vs yield: NSW Units resale patterns + hold periods (free tool)

Hi everyone, I’m David (Sydney/NSW). I’ve joined to learn from the community and to contribute where I can.

I’m building a free platform called LossGain Index to help investors research NSW strata buildings faster. We analyse historical sales and resales of residential units across 87,000+ strata buildings and update the database weekly as new sales results come in.

The idea is to make it easier to spot:
– capital gain history and loss patterns
– resale activity levels (how often units/apartments resell)
– typical hold-period behaviour

I’m a big believer that in Australia, rental yield can be tight once you factor in costs, so capital growth (and avoiding underperformers) matters a lot  which is why choosing the next investment property carefully is so important.

If anyone’s open to it, I’d really value feedback:
1) What are the top 3 metrics you look for when assessing a strata Units?
2) Any red flags you wish more tools highlighted?
3) Would you prefer 5-year vs 10-year performance views (or both)?
