How prices have moved
- Houses
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 |
|---|---|
| 2026 · part year | $1.23m |
| 2025 · part year | $1.03m |
| 2024 | $1.10m |
| 2023 | $1.04m |
| 2022 | $1.08m |
Quarter by quarter
| Quarter | Median | Sales | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 Q4 | $1.03m | 5 |
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 Kilsyth South
In Kilsyth South, over the last 12 months, a three-bedroom house has a median of $1.01 million from 7 sales, while a four-bedroom house has a median of $1.28 million from 6 sales.
| Bedrooms | Median | Sales |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | $1.01m | 7 · few |
| 4 | $1.28m | 6 · 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.
