Construction dates are spread out. The median home for sale dates to 2000, with most of the market falling between 1945 and 2022, so condition and updates vary a lot from listing to listing.

What do you actually get for the money?

80% of the homes for sale have four or more bedrooms, with the 5-bedroom plan the most common of all. Family-sized space is the norm rather than the premium option.

A typical listing here offers about 6,843 sq ft of living space and 6 bathrooms.

Where a lot is reported, the median is 21,500 sq ft, which is what sets the ceiling on additions, laneway homes and future redevelopment.

Enclosed parking is standard: 73% of listings include a garage.

Strata or freehold?
