About Newcastle

Newcastle is Australia's seventh-largest city, but it doesn't feel like it. Two hours north of Sydney, it's compact enough to walk from beach to harbour to CBD in 15 minutes.

Price trajectory

Median house price: $800k from 11 sales in the 12 months to Aug 2026.

This is a thin market. Fewer than 30 homes sold here in the past year, so the figure above moves a long way on a single unusual sale. Read it as a rough guide, not a firm price.

Those risks are suburb-wide. Yours might not be.

Everything above describes Minmi. Which of it falls within 500 m of one particular house is a different question.
