- Land
Dashed lines and hollow points are part years — incomplete, so a dip may only mean fewer sales have happened yet. A break in a line is a year with no published figure, not a fall to zero.
| Year | Houses | Land |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 · part year | $815k | |
| 2025 · part year | $850k | $345k |
| 2024 | $600k | |
| 2023 | $675k | |
| 2022 | $690k |
Quarter by quarter
| Quarter | Median | Sales | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Q4 | $1.05m | 7 |
A change is marked low confidence where either quarter had fewer than 30 sales. The medians are real; with a handful of sales the movement between them is mostly which homes happened to change hands, not the market moving.

What an extra bedroom costs in Gordon
In Gordon, over the last 12 months, a four-bedroom house has a median of $1.07 million from 10 sales, while a three-bedroom house has a median of $810,000 from 5 sales.
| Bedrooms | Median | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $810k | 5 · few |
| 4 | $1.07m | 10 · few |
Counts with fewer than five sales are left out rather than estimated, and bigger does not always mean dearer — a bedroom count with few sales can be pulled either way by the particular homes that happened to change hands.

Which schools in Gordon are filling and which are emptying. A school that covers Prep to Year 12 is counted once, in its own line — its primary-age students are not in the primary schools line.
- Years 1–6
- Prep & ungradedTwo groups that sit outside the numbered year levels: Prep — the first year of school, which the national data does not number — and ungraded students at specialist schools, who are not placed in a year level at all.
A suburb with a specialist school will have a large line here.

This counts children by the year they are in, not by the kind of school they attend — so a Prep-to-12 college contributes to every line. The three add up to every student in the suburb.

What these columns mean
- Type
- Prep-to-12 is one school a child can start and finish at without changing schools. Specialist schools also appear as Prep-to-12.
- 5 yr
- Change in enrolments against five years ago, not against last year. Enrolments move slowly, so a single year is mostly noise.
| School | Sector | Type | Students | 5 yr | 10 yr |

| St Patrick's School | Catholic | Primary | 76 | +72.7% | +55.1% |
Government zoning
Which catchments cover Gordon
2 government catchments cover Gordon — 1 secondary and 1 primary — so which one applies depends on the address, not the suburb. The secondary catchment is Woodmans Hill Secondary College.
| CatchmentThe area around a government school where living there guarantees your child a place. Boundaries follow streets, not suburb lines, so an address near the edge of a suburb may be zoned elsewhere. They are redrawn each year. | Level |
