How Seddon compares

At $250 a week, the median advertised room in Seddon was $67 under the city median of $317 at the July 2026 sweep. That's $50 below the inner west median of $300, which makes Seddon the 2nd cheapest of the 11 inner west suburbs we track.

We counted 7 rooms advertised in Seddon, a small market. 71% of Seddon's rooms were listed as available immediately, above the citywide 67%. 14% of rooms advertised bills included (citywide: 59%). Across Melbourne, rooms with bills included weren't priced any higher than rooms without, so it's worth asking for bills to be included. These numbers come from the Rumy Rent Tracker's July 2026 sweep and are updated quarterly.

Semester two and room turnover

A lot of share house moves in Melbourne follow the uni calendar. Of the rooms advertised in July with a future move-in date, 373 were for August, 4.6 times September's count. Some of that is because rooms are listed a few weeks ahead, and some of it is semester two starting. In Seddon, the start of a semester is a good time to look, and a good time to have a room listed. With 71% of Seddon's rooms available immediately in July, there was a fair bit to choose from without waiting.
