Tamworth ^{NSW 2340}

The median unit sale price in Tamworth sits at $387,000, broadly flat year-on-year. That said, only six sales settled in the quarter, so the median is a noisy signal — treat it as a direction rather than a level.

Houses in Tamworth rent for around $465 a week on average, based on 4 houses listed for rent in the past six months.

7 rentals advertised against an estimated 59 rented homes (11.9%) in the last 6 months.

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

Households face an average residential rates bill of $1,397 a year through Tamworth 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 suburb around it — the property page shows the zone for one address.

In the year to August 2026, 390 new dwellings were approved across Tamworth. That mix is 270 houses and 120 units. Approvals are down 34.9% on the same period a year earlier.

Aboriginal Land Council

Aboriginal land in this area is administered by the Tamworth 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.
