Tamarama: the six-year street-level snapshot
Median price, volume, and every street with two or more verified sales, houses and units, 2020–2026.
Tamarama is the smallest suburb by volume in this analysis, and its numbers should be read with that firmly in mind — house sales have ranged from just 6 to 16 a year across the whole period. The median spiked to $10.65 million in 2021 during the boom and has eased gradually since, sitting at $7.05 million this year, though with samples this small, each individual sale carries outsized weight in that figure.

Six to sixteen house sales a year, in total, for the whole suburb. Every number here is a snapshot of a handful of homes, not a market-wide trend.
Reading the street data
Tamarama Street itself is the suburb’s only house address with meaningful depth — 13 sales at a $3.7 million median, well below the suburb-wide figure, since the priciest clifftop and beachfront homes on other streets pull the overall median up sharply. Fletcher Street (10 sales, $7.35 million) and Thompson Street (9 sales, $12 million) sit at the premium end. On units, Fletcher Street leads with 29 sales at $2.3 million, the closest thing Tamarama has to a genuinely liquid market.

Tamarama Street’s $3.7 million median sits well under half of Thompson Street’s $12 million. In a suburb this small, the street matters more than the postcode ever could.
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.
