Liverpool Property Market Update 1st Half 2026
Liverpool is a dynamic suburb located about 31 km southwest of the Sydney CBD and is one of Australia’s oldest urban settlements. Today Liverpool is a thriving commercial and residential centre, with parklands and recreational amenities. With easy transport links and diverse community, Liverpool is an ideal suburb for professionals and families.
Property Trends
In Q1 2026, Liverpool recorded a median house price of $1,270,000, and a median unit price of $598,750. This is an annual (Q1 2025 – Q1 2026) median price growth of 13.4% for houses and 4.1% for units. Comparing Q1 2025 – Q1 2026, sales declined by -28.6% for houses (to 390 sales in Q1 2026) and by -15.3% for units (to 260 sales in Q1 2026). Price growth and less sales suggests that the property market in Liverpool is undersupplied. This has created a buffer against higher interest rates in early 2026, ensuring price growth. Thus, now remains an ideal time for owners to capitalise and transact.
Project Development
Liverpool will see approximately $3.0B of new projects commencing construction in 2026. Key residential projects planned include: 164-170 Croatia Avenue Apartments (598 Apartments), Campbelltown Road Townhouses Stage 3 (71 Townhouses) and Ed Square Campbelltown Dwellings & Residential Subdivision Stage 6 (28 Dwellings/28 Residential Lots). There are approx. 1,763 units, 92 townhouses, 306 dwellings and 1,169 lots planned, which will greatly support housing supply in Liverpool.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Liverpool were 3.0% in March 2026, higher than the Liverpool LGA (2.6%) and Sydney Metro (2.8%). This was paired with a relatively stable median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q1 2026, at $780 per week. During this time, the number of houses rented surged by 66.2%, to 1529 rentals in Q1 2026. The pattern of stable median rental price and increased rental activity highlights strong rental demand, which benefits investors.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Liverpool recorded a vacancy rate of 1.1% in March 2026, slightly lower than Liverpool LGA’s 1.2% average, but on par with Sydney Metro’s 1.1% average. Vacancy rates in Liverpool increased slightly in the past 12 months, due to investors re-entering the market. However, a 1.1% vacancy rate is still well below the 3.0% benchmark, suggesting quicker occupancy of rental homes in Liverpool. This reflects a sustainable investment environment, even with a higher entry price in Q1 2026.
