What a "unit" means in Lisarow
This catches people out, so it is worth being clear about.
The 2021 Census counted 3 flats or apartments in the whole of Lisarow. Three. Yet 16 "units" sold here in the past year at a median of $770,000.
Both figures are correct. What the portals class as a unit in Lisarow is almost always a villa, townhouse or duplex, the single-storey attached homes that make up 17.1% of the suburb's housing. Lisarow has essentially no apartment market. If you are searching for a Lisarow apartment you are almost certainly looking at villas, and the $770,000 median describes those.
This matters if you are downsizing. A three bedroom villa at $770,000 against a three bedroom house at $995,000 is the real trade-off in this suburb, not house versus apartment.
What the numbers mean
- Lisarow is moving. Houses up 10.1% and a 31 day median are both strong, and 31 days is fast for the Central Coast.
- 73 house sales makes this a busy suburb. For comparison, North Avoca had 41.
- The step from 3 bedrooms at $995,000 to 4 bedrooms at $1,317,500 is over $320,000, one of the widest gaps on the Coast. In a suburb of family homes on decent blocks, the fourth bedroom is where the money is.
- Villas are rising more slowly than houses, 4.3% against 10.1%, and take longer to sell, a 50 day median against 31.
- Rates are the headwind. The RBA held the cash rate at 4.35% in August 2026 after three rises earlier in the year.
