Central Coast HOUSES grow much faster than UNITS | August 30th, 2025

https://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/michael.daniels/our-services/mortgage-choice-in-central-coast-michael-daniels/

Based on the data, the Central Coast property market shows a clear contrast in performance between houses and units. Houses have significantly outperformed units, particularly over the last 12 months.

Houses

The house market has demonstrated strong growth, with the median asking price reaching $1,396,949 as of the week ending August 26, 2025. This represents a remarkable 20.1% increase over the last 12 months. The long-term trend is also robust, with increases of 8.6% over three years, 9.4% over seven years, and 8.5% over ten years. Even in the short term, houses are seeing positive momentum, with a 1.4% increase in the last month and a 7.1% increase in the last quarter.

Units

In contrast, the units market has faced recent challenges. The median asking price for all units is currently $632,775, a decrease of 3.2% over the last 12 months. The short-term figures are also negative, with a -4.5% change over the rolling quarter. However, the long-term trend for units remains positive, albeit less dramatic than for houses, showing a 3.6% increase over the last 10 years.

Your Central Coast Suburbs 10-Year Growth | July 12th, 2025

Image
At   Mortgage Choice Central Coast , located at 200 Central Coast Hwy, Erina, we’ve been diligently tracking median house prices for 47 suburbs over the past 10 years (love our spreadsheets). When we started, we recognised the Central Coast was somewhat undervalued, but the growth we’ve witnessed has been remarkable. House Price Trends Over 10 Years Across these suburbs, we’ve seen a combined growth rate of 109.32%. Hamlyn Terrace, the least performer, still achieved an 80.20% increase, likely due to higher prices for new homes in 2015. Copacabana, on the other hand, led with an impressive 160.23% growth, with its median house price rising from $660,000 a decade ago. What’s Ahead for Central Coast Property While these figures are compelling, many of us are more curious about where the market is headed. We expect continued demand for free-standing homes, driven by limited supply. Our recent data shows the Central Coast’s population growing at a third of Sydney’s rate and half of New...

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)...

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.
