Kariong joins the $1,000,000 club | July 8th, 2025

https://mortgagechoice.com.au/michael.daniels/our-services/mortgage-choice-in-kariong-michael-daniels/

As predicted in our last post about Kariong, the property owners of Kariong have good reason to be optimistic. The Median house price for June has breached the $1,000,000 mark. One of the few suburbs to exceed the peaks reached during the COVID-19 stimulus.

Kariong is a vital suburb to watch when considering the significant impact the Sydney population has on house prices on the Central Coast. Arguably, Kariong is the first part of the Coast to experience the effects of Sydney's ebbs and flows, as it is the closest residential suburb by motor vehicle.

Our recent experience at Mortgage Choice Central Coast is that Sydneysiders are on the move. Population growth, coupled with a lack of new housing stock, is forcing people out of Sydney. Property pundits often point to QLD as the beneficiary of this internal migration; however, the Central Coast has always felt the same effect, especially given that people can keep their Sydney employment. Kariong is on the frontline of this migration, and June's result is not a surprise to us.

Please send us an email at michael.daniels@mortgagechoice.com.au or give us a call if you would like to discuss your property plans. The best place to start is with a pre-approval.

Tumbi Umbi Median House Price | 20/06/2025

Tumbi Umbi's median house price has reached its prior peak, which was achieved during the COVID-19 stimulus program. $1,070,000 sets a new record for Tumbi Umbi. As median house prices have grown by 34% over the last 5 years, median house rents have risen by 55%, to $630 per week. Interestingly, the median rent recently fell from a peak of $725 per week in December 2024, which is undoubtedly welcome relief for tenants.  According to the realestate.com.au results, 3-bedroom rental yields are 3.01% p.a ($630 per week x 52 weeks = $32,670)  and  4-bedroom rental yields are 3.76% ($800 per week x 52 weeks = $41,600), despite 4-bedroom median house prices being $280,000 higher than the 3-bedroom median house price of $825,000. As always, if you would like to discuss your property plans, please call us, your Mortgage Choice Tumbi Umbi experts, Michael Daniels or Philip Cooper. Mortgage Choice Tumbi Umbi

Central Coast median house price rises for 6th consecutive month

Image
  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)...
