Central Coast median house price rises for 6th consecutive month

 

UPDATE | 10/06/2025 | Central Coast Median House price rises for 6th consecutive month

The median house price on the Central Coast for May 2025 is $1,044,750. Exactly 10 years ago, the median house price was $499,250. Will the median house price double again in 10 years? 

I would have answered no to that question in 2015, but a combination of general inflation, rising wages and accommodating lending policies (especially during COVID-19) drove the median through the roof. In fact, between mid-2020 and mid-2022, our median rose by 61% from $650,000 to $1,050,000. 

Fortunately, this median dropped by $100,000 over the following 12 months; however, we are now only $6,000 away from the COVID-19-induced peak. This has been a devastating change for our first home buyers, and predictions of further variable interest rate cuts will likely accelerate house price growth. 

If you know a potential first-home buyer who would like a maximum purchase price estimate (no obligation) or a plan to enter the market, we would be grateful for the opportunity to help.
