You are pricing Beaconsfield Upper and the headline number is simple: houses are now sitting around $826,127, while units are roughly $522,811. Here is the buyer-grade read on what those numbers actually mean before you waste weekends chasing the wrong stock.
The Verdict
The median house is the number to watch in Beaconsfield Upper: $826,127 is the cleanest benchmark for most buyers because it reflects the market people are actually competing in, not the cheapest edge case or the dream acreage listing. Houses are up 10.6% year on year, the median days on market is still 64 days, and the auction clearance rate is sitting at 71%, so this is not a dead market where you can casually lowball every listing and wait for a desperate vendor. If you are buying a standard family home, treat the mid-$800,000s as the starting point for reality, not the finish line.
The sharper read is the bedroom spread. A 2-bedroom house is around $578,288, a 3-bedroom house lines up with the $826,127 median, and a 4-bedroom house jumps to about $1,073,965. That gap matters because a lot of buyers mentally shop for a 3-bedroom budget while emotionally inspecting 4-bedroom homes. Units are a different story: the median is $522,811 and has slipped 0.3% year on year, which makes them look calmer, but the rental yield is lower at 3.7% versus 4.1% for houses. Do not get seduced by the cheapest-looking house bracket if you actually need family space; you will either compromise too hard or end up bidding in the 4-bedroom range anyway.
Local Reality
Beaconsfield Upper is not a suburb where one neat median tells the whole story. The data here comes from settled sales reported through REIV, Domain, and CoreLogic, which is useful because it strips out the fantasy pricing you see in some listing campaigns. But it also means you need to read the tables as a range, not a promise. A 3-bedroom house has a median of $826,127, but the range given here runs from $702,207 to $950,046. That is the difference between a stretch-but-possible buy and a home that quietly turns into a million-dollar conversation once stamp duty, inspections, lending buffers, and moving costs are included.
The practical pressure point is time. A 64-day median means some properties will sit long enough for buyers to think they have leverage, while quality homes can still become competitive quickly, especially with a 71% auction clearance rate. The two references worth keeping in your head are the current house median of $826,127 and the 4-bedroom median of $1,073,965; those are the numbers that separate a sensible family search from a search that keeps drifting upward every Saturday.
Skip this if you are looking for a bargain-bin suburb where the median is soft and vendors are routinely discounting. That is not what this snapshot says. If you are not specifically tied to Beaconsfield Upper, compare it against nearby alternatives before committing, because the local premium only makes sense if the suburb itself is part of the reason you are buying.
Who This Suits
If you are a first-home buyer, the unit median of $522,811 is the least brutal entry point, but check whether the 3.7% yield and limited growth signal actually suit your plan. If you are a family upgrader, the 3-bedroom house median of $826,127 is your real baseline, with the warning that better family stock can drag you toward the 4-bedroom median of $1,073,965. If you are an investor, houses look stronger on the numbers because the rental yield is 4.1% and the weekly rent for a 3-bedroom house is $648. If you are a downsizer, units may work on price, but the flat year-on-year movement means you should be buying for lifestyle fit, not a quick capital-growth story.
Cost expectations need to be blunt. A 20% deposit on the median house is about $165,225, while a 20% deposit on the median unit is about $104,562. Stamp duty on the median house is listed at $45,436, or $37,175 for first-home buyers with concessions. That means the gap between inspecting and actually owning is bigger than the advertised price suggests. Build your budget from the full cash required, not just the loan approval number.
Timing matters too. In a market with a 3.4% vacancy rate, rentals are tight and landlord-favourable, so investors may feel more comfortable holding property, while tenants and rentvestors have less room to move. For buyers, the best read comes from watching how long comparable properties sit after their first open and whether auction campaigns pull multiple serious bidders. Early 2026 numbers are useful, but they are not a substitute for tracking live competition.
