The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Albany, Blackfell, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 34 m² | 48 m² | 59 m² | 78 |
| 3 | 50 m² | 54 m² | 74 m² | 271 |
| 4 | 58 m² | 73 m² | 89 m² | 633 |
| 5 | 75 m² | 88 m² | 110 m² | 480 |
| 6 | 90 m² | 101 m² | 130 m² | 137 |
| 7 | 113 m² | 145 m² | 187 m² | 81 |
| 8 | 159 m² | 183 m² | 286 m² | 22 |
| 9 | 187 m² | 204 m² | 225 m² | 10 |
| 10 | 251 m² | 306 m² | 509 m² | 6 |
| 11 | 262 m² | 354 m² | 354 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 10 habitable rooms, ranging from 251 to 509 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
