Median House Price

Public listings data

St Albans's house market is moving lower: the median sale price reached $720,000, roughly 24% below where it sat a year earlier. That said, only eight sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Metropolitan 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.
