Belford ^{NSW 2335}

Belford's house market is moving higher: the median sale price reached $1.05 million in the December 2025 quarter, roughly 17% above where it sat a year earlier. That said, only four sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level. Zoom out: prices have climbed roughly 64% over the past decade — 5.1% per year on average.

The three add up to the change above. These are council-wide figures from the ABS, not figures for this locality alone — this locality's own population is in the census section above.

Households face an average residential rates bill of $1,287 a year through Singleton based on 2024 figures.

Zoning sets what may be built, not what is there today. A single address can sit in a different zone to the locality around it — the property page shows the zone for one address.

In the year to August 2026, 121 new dwellings were approved across Singleton. That mix is 100 houses and 21 units. Approvals are up 46.2% on the same period a year earlier.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Wanaruah Local Aboriginal Land Council.

Local Aboriginal Land Councils are statutory bodies under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act 1983, responsible for land claims and land management for their members. Their boundaries are administrative and are not a statement of whose Country this is. NSW does not publish a register of Aboriginal parties by area — they are registered for each project.

Elevation is the ground at the locality centre, from Geoscience Australia's National Digital Elevation Model. Approximate — it reads high in dense built-up areas. It is a measure of height above sea level and not an indicator of flood risk, which depends on height above nearby waterways.
