How we ranked them

  • Ranked by published median house price, lowest first, from 592 Greater Sydney suburbs with a published median above $100,000 and 1,000 or more residents.
  • Prices are medians of house sales recorded by the NSW Valuer General. A suburb needs five recorded sales in the year before a median is published. The medians are for calendar 2025.
  • The 12-month change is measured on the same sales as the median. A change beyond 25% in a year is left out as a small-sample artefact.
  • Greater Sydney is the suburbs in postcodes 2000 to 2249, 2555 to 2574, 2740 to 2786. Postal delivery names and institutions are left out.
  • Distance to the CBD is a straight line from the suburb's postcode centroid to the Sydney GPO, rounded to the kilometre.

Common questions

Cheapest in Sydney: what people ask

What are the cheapest suburbs in Sydney?

By published median house price, the cheapest Greater Sydney suburbs of 1,000 or more residents are Claymore ($685,000), Menangle ($705,900) and Warragamba ($795,000). Prices are medians of house sales recorded by the NSW Valuer General. A suburb needs five recorded sales in the year before a median is published. A suburb is listed only when its own page publishes the median, and the ranking is drawn from 592 suburbs with one.

Where can I buy a house in Sydney for under $500,000?

No Greater Sydney suburb of 1,000 or more residents has a published median house price under $500,000. The lowest is Claymore at $685,000. Prices are medians of house sales recorded by the NSW Valuer General. A suburb needs five recorded sales in the year before a median is published. A median is the middle sale, so some houses in these suburbs sold for less than it.

Are Sydney's cheapest suburbs rising in price?

Of the ten cheapest Greater Sydney suburbs, eight have a measured 12-month change and seven of those rose. The largest rise was Airds at +16.6%, and the weakest was Bowen Mountain at -2.9%. The change is measured on the same sales as the median for calendar 2025, and a change beyond 25% is left out as a small-sample artefact.

Which suburbs will boom in Sydney in 2026?

We do not predict which suburbs will boom, and a rise over the last 12 months says what happened, not what will. What we can show is measured. Among the suburbs on this page, the largest measured rises over the last 12 months were Airds (+16.6%), Lethbridge Park (+12.2%) and Tregear (+11.7%). The change is the 12-month movement in the median house price on the same sales as the median, for calendar 2025, and a change beyond 25% is left out as a small-sample artefact. The NSW growth ranking, linked below, lists every suburb with a measured change.
