Arguments For
- +Rockdale median house price is $1.65M with 7.2% annual growth — strong conditions for sellers looking to capitalise on recent gains.

- +Low listing volumes in the 2216 postcode mean less competition for sellers, leading to above-reserve auction results.

- −Selling costs (commission, marketing, conveyancing) on a $1.65M Rockdale house can total $25K–$40K — use michaelkalinovski.com/calculators/selling-costs to model your net proceeds.
