You are looking at Beaconsfield listings and the numbers are suddenly real: $884,231 for the median house, $499,756 for the median unit. Here is the practical read on what those prices mean before you book inspections or talk yourself into overbidding.
The Verdict
The median Beaconsfield house is the main decision point: at $884,231, it is the number buyers should use as their baseline before they fall in love with a listing. That price is not an agent wish-list figure; it is based on settled sales reported through REIV, Domain, and CoreLogic for the 12 months to March 2026. Houses have also moved faster than units, with a 9.2% year-on-year lift compared with 1.7% for units, so the family-house market is where the pressure is sitting.
The better buy depends on your job. If you need a family home, budget around the median house price plus roughly $48,632 in stamp duty, or $39,790 if you qualify for first-home buyer concessions. A 20% deposit on the median house is $176,846, which is the real hurdle before repayments even enter the conversation. If you are investing or trying to buy in with less cash, the unit median at $499,756 is cleaner: the rental yield is higher at 4.3%, the 20% deposit is $99,951, and the weekly rent benchmark is $405 for a 2-bedroom unit. Do not treat the $884,231 house median as a hard ceiling though. The 4-bedroom median is already $1,149,500, and the 5+ bedroom bracket runs much higher. Do not get sucked into a cheap-looking house without checking bedroom count and condition first; you will regret comparing a 2-bedroom compromise against proper family stock.
Local Reality
Beaconsfield is not a soft market if the property is the right type. The median days on market is 46, which gives buyers time to think, but the 79% auction clearance rate says the good ones are still getting taken seriously. The current sales pool is also meaningful, with 277 settled sales over the past 12 months, so these figures are not built off one or two lucky results.
The street-level reality is that bedroom count matters more than the headline median. A 3-bedroom house sits at the suburb median of $884,231, while a 4-bedroom house jumps to $1,149,500. That is a big step for buyers upgrading from a first home, and it explains why quality family properties on good streets are competitive at auction. Units are a different read. A 2-bedroom unit sits at $499,756, while a 3-bedroom unit is $674,670, so upsizing within the unit market can still move quickly once the floor plan starts to feel like a small house.
Use the source landmarks for what they are: REIV, Domain, and CoreLogic give you the market baseline, but they do not replace a proper inspection or a hard look at exact location. Skip this if you only want a suburb-wide shortcut; Beaconsfield prices vary significantly based on condition, aspect, and exact location. If your budget is already stretched west of the median house price, probably look at nearby alternatives before assuming a smaller Beaconsfield house will solve the problem.
Who This Suits
If you are a family upgrader, pick the 3-bedroom house benchmark first and stress-test whether $884,231 plus costs is comfortable. If you need the extra bedroom, use $1,149,500 as the real planning number, not the suburb median. If you are a first-home buyer, compare the $499,756 unit median against the $618,961 2-bedroom house median before deciding that a house is impossible. If you are an investor, the unit market is the cleaner yield play at 4.3%, while houses sit at 3.7%. If you are a downsizer, the 2-bedroom unit median is the number to watch, but do not assume every unit is interchangeable.
Cost expectations are blunt. The median house needs a $176,846 deposit at 20%, plus stamp duty that can sit around $48,632 without concessions. The median unit needs a $99,951 deposit at 20%, with a lower entry price and stronger yield. Weekly rent is currently $605 for a 3-bedroom house and $405 for a 2-bedroom unit, with a 1.9% vacancy rate pointing to a tight, landlord-favourable rental market.
Timing matters too. Early 2026 data shows houses growing much faster than units, so waiting may hurt more if you are chasing a family home than if you are buying a unit. Auction competition is not universal, but the 79% clearance rate means clean, well-located properties can still pull buyers into emotional bidding. Go in with your upper number written down before auction day.
