Liverpool Plains Property Market Update 1st Half 2026
Liverpool Plains is a picturesque region known for its rolling fertile plains, agricultural activities; renowned as one of Australia’s key grain-growing regions. With a vibrant rural community, rich culture and history, Liverpool Plains is a wonderful place to call home.
Property Trends
In Q1 2026, Liverpool Plains recorded a median house price of $353,000 and a median land price of $125,000 in Q4 2025 (Note: there was only 1 land sale in Q1 2026). This represents an annual (Q1 2025 – Q1 2026) median price growth of 17.7% for houses, whilst the number of houses sold grew by 5.7% (to 37 for houses in Q1 2026). This suggests a highly demanded house market, which created a buffer against higher interest rates in early 2026. Land sales increased to 5 sales in Q4 2025, indicative of high demand for land. Thus, now remains an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments, without any new housing supply planned between 2025–2027.
Project Development
Liverpool Plains will see approx. $58.8M of new projects commencing from 2025–2027. 375 Inverkip Road Poultry Sheds ($17.8M) is a key commercial project planned. This project will assist with the agricultural industry in the region and will have a flow on effect through job creation and local economy. At present there are no residential stock planned, causing a further housing undersupply and pushing up house prices further.
Rental Market & Growth
House rental yields in Liverpool Plains were 3.5% in March 2026, slightly lower than Tamworth LGA (4.1%) but much higher than the Sydney Metro (2.8%). This was paired with a 11.9% increase in median house rental price in the past 12 months to Q1 2026, at $470 per week. Conversely, the number of houses rented decreased, by -6.3% in the past 12 months, to 15 rentals in Q1 2026. This suggests an undersupplied house rental market in Liverpool Plains, which is beneficial to investors; especially those looking for a more affordable investment option to Sydney Metro.
Vacancy Rates & Property Investment
Liverpool Plains recorded a significantly low vacancy rate of 0.7% in March 2026, lower than Tamworth LGA’s 1.1% and Sydney Metro 1.1% average. Vacancy rates in Liverpool Plains have decreased in the past 12 months, indicating a tighter rental market. Further, a 0.7% vacancy rate is significantly below the Real Estate Institution of Australia’s healthy benchmark of 3.0%, suggesting quick occupancy of rental homes. This is a conducive environment for investors, even if the median house sales price (thus, entry price) has increased in the past 12 months to Q1 2026.
