Renting a house in Silverdale costs more than renting in Stanmore Bay. Tenancy Services bond data for 1 April to 30 September 2026 shows a median rent of $750 a week for a three-bedroom house in Silverdale against $650 in Stanmore Bay, a gap of $100 a week or $5,200 over 52 weeks. Four-bedroom houses are $860 and $750.
Tenancy Services builds its Silverdale market rent figures and its Stanmore Bay (Whangaparāoa) market rent figures from the rent recorded when a bond is lodged. The table shows the median weekly rent for houses in the six months to 30 September 2026.
| House size | Silverdale ($ a week) | Stanmore Bay ($ a week) | Gap over 52 weeks ($) |
| 2 bedrooms | 600 | 550 | 2,600 |
| 3 bedrooms | 750 | 650 | 5,200 |
| 4 bedrooms | 860 | 750 | 5,720 |
The middle half of homes sits in a range. For three-bedroom houses, Tenancy Services shows $680 to $791 a week in Silverdale (61 bonds) and $560 to $700 in Stanmore Bay (453 bonds). Silverdale’s two-bedroom figure rests on only 24 bonds, so treat it as a rough guide.
A landlord who charges a general bond can ask for no more than four weeks’ rent, Tenancy Services says. At the median rents above, the money needed before moving in differs as follows.
A tenant choosing between the two suburbs for a three-bedroom house therefore faces about $400 more in bond and $5,200 more in rent over a year. Whether the extra is worth it depends on the home and the tenant’s priorities.
Ray White Silverdale’s property management team advertised 34 residential rentals in Silverdale and Stanmore Bay between 11 May and 5 November 2026 (each property counted once). The table shows the Stanmore Bay homes already leased.
| Home | Advertised rent ($ a week) | Median days listed |
| 3 bed, 15 leased | 675 to 780 | 28 |
| 4 bed, 5 leased | 760 to 800 | 38 |
Across the 20 Stanmore Bay houses leased, the median time listed was 32 days: 5 leased within 14 days and 10 within 30 days, but the two slowest each took 137 days. Another 8 Stanmore Bay homes were still advertised on 11 November, after 83 to 156 days. Not every rental goes quickly.
Our advertised rents for three-bedroom Stanmore Bay houses ($675 to $780, median $710) sit above the $650 Tenancy Services median. The two measure different things: ours are asking rents on a small group of homes managed by one office, while Tenancy Services reports the rent recorded on every bond lodged in the area over six months. Other websites quote different Silverdale and Stanmore Bay medians again because they mix property types and sources, so check what a figure covers before relying on it.
The sample is small and concentrated in a few Stanmore Bay streets, so it is one slice of the market and does not replace the Tenancy Services medians. Our Silverdale sample is too small to compare: one house leased and two were still advertised.
Tenancy Services warns that the figures are a guide and should not be used alone to set the rent of a particular property. It also says that the latest month is left out because bonds can be lodged up to 23 working days after a tenancy starts.
Tenancy Services rules on rent increases say a landlord can raise the rent only 12 months after the tenancy started and 12 months after the last increase, with at least 60 days’ written notice. The law does not cap the amount, but a tenant paying a lot more than similar homes can negotiate and, if the landlord declines, apply to the Tenancy Tribunal.
For example, a Stanmore Bay landlord moving a three-bedroom house from $650 to $700 adds $50 a week, or $2,600 over 52 weeks. The four-week bond rises from $2,600 to $2,800, so a top-up of up to $200 may be requested and must be lodged within 23 working days.
