What Newcastle house prices are doing
The median house price across the Newcastle region is $1,056,250. That figure is the median of 36 suburb medians, each drawn from government sales records, rather than an average, so a handful of waterfront or acreage suburbs cannot drag it up. The median unit price is $308,880. The median house rent is $725 a week.
Over the past twelve months the typical Newcastle suburb rose by 7.5% in median house price. The spread between suburbs is wide: Wickham recorded +18.9%, the fastest of the established suburbs with plausible growth data. A change beyond 25% in a year, the mark of a handful of sales, is left out of the growth figures.
Among established suburbs, the most affordable is Edgeworth at $765,000 and the dearest is Bar Beach at $2,812,500, a 3.7-times gap across the one region. The suburbs with the most recorded house sales in the latest period are Cameron Park (213), Edgeworth (195), Merewether (168); the table below lists the twenty busiest with their medians.
