Market Sentiment

+4.7% annual growth. Ongoing lifestyle demand across houses, townhouses and units, with the strongest comparison factors including walkability, outlook, parking, land, condition and proximity to the beach and village.

Terrigal is one of the Central Coast's best-known coastal markets, with a broad mix of houses, apartments and townhouses. Beach and village access, outlook, elevation, traffic, parking and walkability can materially affect buyer demand. For sellers, a suburb-wide median is only a starting point because the market buyers use for comparison changes substantially by property type and pocket.

Key figures

  • Median house price: $1,645,000
  • Median unit price: $1,200,000
  • Median rent: $900/week
  • 12-month change: +4.7%
  • Annual growth (units): +3.0%
  • Rental yield: 3.1%
  • Average days on market: 39 days
  • Current listings: 63 (159 sold in past 12 months)
  • Active buyers: 3,588

Market Outlook

Terrigal's headline median blends apartments, standard family homes and elevated prestige property into one suburb story. Buyers make more specific choices. They test the real walk to the beach, parking near the village, stairs, gradient, traffic, outlook and renovation quality, then compare Wamberal, North Avoca and Avoca Beach. Sellers need evidence from the same micro-market, not simply the nearest Terrigal sales.
