Property Trends
In Q4 2025, Hurstville recorded a median house price of $2,050,000, and a median unit price of $779,000. The median house price has remained stable in the past 12 months (Q4 2024 – Q4 2025), whilst the median unit price increased by 4.6%. House sales declined between Q4 2024 – Q4 2025, by -15.2% (to 28 sales in Q4 2025), but increased by 27.1% for units (to 164 sales in Q4 2025). There is a unique opportunity in the house market in Hurstville currently, with a stable median price and in a higher interest rate environment. That said, without any new stand-alone houses planned to be built in 2025–2027, this will not last. Thus, buyers must act fast.
Project Development
Hurstville will see approximately $298.5M of new projects commencing construction between 2025–2027. Of this, 529 units/apartments are planned, which will assist with current demand. However, without any new stand-alone houses planned an undersupply is expected, which will push up prices for all property stock types.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Hurstville were 2.3% in December 2025, slightly lower than the Georges River LGA (2.4%) and Sydney Metro (2.7%). Median house rental price has slightly declined in the past 12 months to Q4 2025, by -1.2%, at $850 per week. The number of houses rented also decreased, by -31.3%, to 44 rentals in Q4 2025.
