Three useful questions
The median house price is $930,000, while units and apartments sit at $970,000. Bedroom count, land and condition still create a wide range around those suburb medians.
The Census counted 874 local families, and 21.6% of residents were under 15. That describes the community; school quality, travel times and the right fit for a particular family need separate research.
Larger houses have a median around $1,300,000, the closest bedroom benchmark we hold to a $1.5m budget. Individual homes can differ substantially with block size, renovation and location.
Medians describe recorded market activity across the suburb; they are historical context, not a valuation or forecast for an individual home.
