Kariong’s Median House Price Trends

As a Mortgage Choice Mortgage Broker on the Central Coast, I’ve observed significant shifts in Kariong’s housing market. The median house price for 4-bedroom homes in Kariong has surged by an impressive 9.20%, reflecting strong growth in this segment. In contrast, the median price for 3-bedroom homes has unexpectedly declined by 2.30%, creating a notable gap between these housing types.

Growing Price Gap Between 3-Bedroom and 4-Bedroom Homes in Kariong

The price difference between 3-bedroom and 4-bedroom houses in Kariong has widened to $240,000, one of the largest gaps on the Central Coast. This significant disparity presents an opportunity for owners of 3-bedroom homes to consider adding a fourth bedroom, potentially increasing their property’s value and appeal in the Kariong market.

Rental Yields for Investors in Kariong

For property investors, Kariong offers attractive rental returns. Four-bedroom homes in Kariong achieve a rental yield of 3.90% per annum, while 3-bedroom homes yield a solid 3.80% per annum. These figures outperform the Central Coast’s median rental yield of 2.70% for all houses, according to SQM Research, making Kariong a compelling choice for investors seeking strong returns.

Rising Demand from First Home Buyers in Kariong

Kariong is experiencing increased demand from first home buyers, particularly from Sydney, driven by its motor vehicle accessibility to Sydney-based employment. Recent updates to the Government’s 5% deposit scheme have further fueled this demand. The scheme now allows a maximum purchase price of $1,500,000 (up from $950,000) and has removed the income caps of $125,000 for singles and $200,000 for couples, making Kariong an even more attractive option for buyers entering the market.

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...

GOROKAN ranks as 'Most Affordable' Houses | October 15th, 2025

Image
https://www.mortgagechoice.com.au/michael.daniels/our-services/mortgage-broker-in-gorokan-michael-daniels/ Mortgage Choice Central Coast has provided a table ranking the 47 largest Central Coast suburbs with more than 800 houses. Gorokan has ranked as the most affordable option for people looking to buy a house with a median house price of $750,000. The Central Coast median house price is $1,066,420. Gorokan's median house price has grown by $30,000 over the last 6 months and $40,000 over the last 12 months. We suspect Gorokan's median house price will soon rise due to increased demand from the expanded first-home buyer scheme and a high annual rental yield of 4.1%, which is attracting investors.
