Median prices and market figures: Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) via Aussie Homes, 12 months to October 2026. Medians are a guide only. In smaller suburbs a handful of sales can move them, and they change over time. They are not a valuation or financial advice. For the price of a specific property, speak with us.
Abbotsford is a point on the Parramatta River. The old factory land on the water is now apartments, including the waterfront complexes around Abbotsford Point. The streets behind it are mostly houses. Those are different markets, and a ferry wharf does not make them the same price. A quiet residential street and a waterfront building have different noise, different strata rules and different buyers.
Great North Road is the spine of the suburb and the bus route to Five Dock and the city. Abbotsford Public School is in the suburb. We separate house purchases from apartment purchases before a shortlist, and check the street, the strata records where they apply, and what you can change. The selling agent acts for the vendor. Kristan Johnson, the licensee, acts for the buyer.
Median. Houses: $3,257,250, down 6% over 12 months. Units: $1,423,538, down 1%. Houses took a median of 37 days to sell and units 39. 97 properties sold in the last 12 months. Median weekly rent is $1,375 for houses and $800 for units. Source: Cotality (formerly CoreLogic), last 12 months, via Aussie Homes, read 6 October 2026.
By bedrooms. A 3 bed house is $3.2355m and a 4 bed house $3.5m. A 2 bed unit is $1.185m and a 3 bed unit $1.875m. Source: Domain suburb profile, sales in the last 12 months, read 6 October 2026. Domain counts by bedroom and Cotality counts all sales, so the figures differ.
What is selling. Apartments are 62% of dwellings, detached houses 23% and townhouses 14%. Outright owners are the largest group of households at 36% (Census figures via Aussie Homes).
Ferry. Abbotsford wharf is served by the Parramatta River ferry, which matters to buyers commuting to the city by water.
Kristan’s advice for Abbotsford buyers: In Abbotsford, outlook drives price as much as land. Water frontage, water views and a street view can sit far apart in value, so compare like with like rather than relying on the suburb figure.
Working with a buyers agent in Abbotsford starts with the brief: house or apartment, water or street, and what you will not compromise on. We follow Abbotsford campaigns as part of our work for Sydney buyers, shortlist homes that fit, and check the strata records, the building, the street and the contract before you commit.
Off-market access is only what selling agents choose to show us. It is not available for a specific address on request. When it is time to buy, we negotiate or bid for you from comparable sales with the same outlook, with a walk-away price agreed before the day.
First home buyers are usually looking at an apartment on the point or a smaller house. Finance needs to be in place, and the comparable sales have to be for that kind of building. We will say when a campaign does not fit your brief.
Upsizers compare Abbotsford with Wareemba, Chiswick and Five Dock. You want a house and the river, and you need to know which streets are actually quiet. Condition and what can be changed come before the view.
The river and the ferry are why investors look. The property still has to stand on evidenced rent and, for apartments, the strata records. We do not publish a yield here. Our investment property buyers agent page explains the wider service.

Wareemba buyers agent coverage is the small suburb immediately inland. It is the comparison when you want a house and can leave the apartment buildings on the point.

We charge a fixed fee agreed up front. It is not paid up front, and it is never a percentage of the purchase price. The amount depends on the service and is confirmed before you engage. Details are on the buyers agent fees page.
The median house price is $3,257,250, down 6% over 12 months (Cotality, read 6 October 2026). Domain shows a 3 bed house at $3.2355m and a 4 bed at $3.5m. Houses took a median of 37 days to sell.
Prices have eased: the house median is down about 6% over 12 months, while units are down 1% (Cotality, read 6 October 2026). That gives a prepared house buyer more room to negotiate, but it is the street and the specific sale that set your price, not the suburb figure.
Mostly, yes. Apartments are 62% of dwellings and detached houses 23% (Census figures via Aussie Homes). Waterfront complexes around Abbotsford Point sit apart from the house streets, and they should not be priced from the same list.
Sometimes. We are shown homes before they are advertised when selling agents we already work with choose to do that. It is not something you can order for a specific address.
