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.

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.
