What the numbers mean
- Units outsold houses here, 71 to 45. East Gosford is one of the few Central Coast suburbs where the unit market is the bigger one, and units sold in a median 17 days against 48 for houses.
- Units are also where the growth is, up 10.3% against 2.1% for houses.
- The two bedroom house median sits above the three bedroom one. That usually points to a handful of renovated or waterfront cottages rather than a trend, so treat both with care on a small sample.
- Rates are the headwind. The RBA held the cash rate at 4.35% in August 2026 after three rises earlier in the year.
