The cost of buying in Edmondson Park
NSW DCJ's latest sales figures (January to March 2026) put the median unit price in postcode 2174 at $771,000 and the median house at $1,490,000. The unit median rests on only a few sales, which DCJ flags as a small sample, so treat it as a rough guide. Read the house figure with care: DCJ marks it as a small sample.

An eligible first home buyer pays no transfer duty on the median unit, because $771,000 is below the scheme's $800,000 full-exemption limit; anyone else pays $28,882. No first home concession reaches the median house; at that price the duty is $63,237 for everyone.
Unit and house medians both fit under the $1,500,000 5% Deposit Scheme cap, leaving $10,000 of headroom even at the house median.

Edmondson Park rents and what they mean for buying
The median rent on a new lease in postcode 2174 was $760 a week in April to June 2026, based on 162 bonds lodged, which adds up to $39,520 over a year. By size, a two-bedroom unit leased for $730 a week and a three-bedroom house for $800.
At the 2021 Census the median renter here paid $550 a week, and the median household with a mortgage repaid $2,800 a month, 17% more than the median rent. Today's new-lease median is 38% above that 2021 rent. DCJ counts only new bonds and the Census counts every renting household, so read the gap as a direction, not an exact rise. That 2021 rent was 21% of a median household's income.
Put another way, 51 weeks of today's median rent would cover a 5% deposit ($38,550) on the median unit. Most households here own their home: 31.8% rent, 57.8% have a mortgage and 8.2% own outright.
| Dwelling | Weekly | Yearly | New bonds |
|---|---|---|---|
| All dwellings | $760 | $39,520 | 162 |
| 1-bedroom unit (small sample) | $600 | $31,200 | 11 to 30 |
| 2-bedroom unit | $730 | $37,960 | 37 |
| House (all sizes) | $830 | $43,160 | 89 |
| 3-bedroom house (small sample) | $800 | $41,600 | 11 to 30 |
