Upfield Median Prices 2026: Houses, Units & What the Market Actually Shows

You’re pricing Upfield and every listing feels either suspiciously cheap or already gone. Use $777,473 as the house benchmark, $472,334 for units, and treat anything far above that as needing a very good reason.

The Verdict

The number to anchor on is $777,473 for a typical Upfield house. That is the current median for settled house sales to March 2026, with houses up 7.2% year on year and taking a median 50 days to sell. If you only read one section, read this: Upfield is still a sub-$800k house market on the median, but it is no longer a sleepy bargain pocket where every family home looks underpriced.

The sharper comparison is units at $472,334. They are cheaper, with a 4.6% rental yield against 4.4% for houses, but growth has been much flatter at +1.1% year on year. Houses have done the heavy lifting in the five-year trend, moving from $588,883 in 2022 to $777,473 in 2026 YTD. Units have barely crept from $451,585 to $472,334 over the same period. That makes the decision fairly clean: buy a house if you want land and capital growth potential; look at a unit if budget discipline or yield matters more than upside.

Don’t judge Upfield off asking prices. This article uses settled sales from REIV, Domain, and CoreLogic, not agent estimates. And don’t get seduced by a big five-bedroom price unless you actually need the space; the median jumps to $1,243,956 for 5+ bedrooms, which is a very different bet from the standard three-bedroom market.

Local Reality

Upfield buyers are mostly looking at a practical northern-suburbs trade-off: more house for the money, but fewer polished lifestyle shortcuts than inner-north suburbs. Around Upfield Station and the northern end of the train line, the appeal is straightforward access, family-sized blocks, and prices that still sit below many better-known suburbs closer to the city. The median house price of $777,473 puts it in reach for buyers who have been priced out of stronger inner-north names, but the auction clearance rate of 79% says quality stock is not being ignored.

The market is not uniform. A clean three-bedroom house near transport is a different proposition from a tired property needing major work, even if both sit under the same suburb label. The current three-bedroom house median is $777,473, with a listed range of $660,852 to $894,093. That range matters more than the headline median because it shows where your inspections will actually land: entry-level houses can still appear in the mid-to-high $600k band, while renovated family homes quickly push toward the high $800k range.

For investors, the rental side is decent but not magical. A three-bedroom house rents around $646 per week, while a two-bedroom unit sits around $407 per week. Vacancy is 1.4%, which is tight enough to keep landlords interested but described here as balanced with a slight tenant advantage.

Skip this if you want a purely lifestyle-led suburb with cafe density doing the valuation work. If you are west of the main transport spine or comparing only on commute comfort, also check nearby northern suburbs before assuming Upfield is automatically the best buy.

Who This Suits

If you’re a first-home buyer, use the unit median of $472,334 and the lower deposit figure of $94,466 as your reality check. A two-bedroom unit can make sense if you want to enter the market without stretching into house-stamp-duty pain. If you’re a young family, the three-bedroom house median of $777,473 is the key number, with a 20% deposit around $155,494 and standard stamp duty estimated at $42,761. First-home buyers with concessions are looking closer to $34,986 on that median house figure.

If you’re upgrading, the four-bedroom median of $1,010,714 is the price bracket to watch. That is where Upfield stops feeling cheap and starts competing with a broader northern-suburbs family-home market. If you’re an investor, the cleaner play is probably yield discipline: houses show 4.4% and units 4.6%, so don’t overpay for a rental just because the suburb’s house median has been moving. If you’re a downsizer, the unit market looks calmer, but that also means less obvious growth momentum.

Cost expectations are simple: houses need a much bigger cash buffer than the headline median suggests. The purchase price is one thing; stamp duty, borrowing capacity, inspections, conveyancing, and repairs are another. A buyer thinking about a median house should be planning beyond $777,473, not just scraping together the deposit and hoping the rest behaves.

Timing matters too. With median days on market at 50, Upfield is not necessarily a blink-and-it’s-gone suburb for every listing, but strong properties can still pull competition quickly. Early 2026 numbers show momentum in houses, so waiting may help you understand value better, but it may not make the good stock cheaper.

What to Do Next

Start with the $777,473 house median, then inspect against bedroom count instead of suburb hype. If the property is above its bedroom-band range, make the agent prove why. Next, read the Upfield property market guide.
