Waverley: the six-year street-level snapshot
Median price, volume, and every street with two or more verified sales, houses and units, 2020–2026.
Waverley is the quietest of its neighbouring suburbs on volume — house sales never broke 43 in a single year, and 2026 is tracking toward the lowest annual count since 2020. That smaller sample makes the price data noisier, but the direction is still clear: median house price climbed from $2.9 million in 2020 to $4.28 million in 2025, before easing back to $3.51 million this year.

With house volume this thin, one or two unusual sales can move the suburb median more than any real shift in the market underneath it.
Reading the street data
Henrietta Street is Waverley’s defining address on both sides of the ledger — 23 house sales and 91 unit sales, the latter comfortably the suburb’s deepest and most reliable unit market. Macpherson Street (72 sales) and Bronte Road (45 sales) follow as the next-most-active unit streets, both with medians in the low-to-mid $1 million range. With smaller volumes across the board, individual sales carry more weight here than in busier neighbouring suburbs.

If you’re weighing up a sale on one of these streets, the suburb median only gets you so far. I price every appraisal against what that specific street has actually done — not just this year, but across the full cycle.
