Newcastle suburbs that set house price records in 2021

New sale benchmarks were set in 30 of the 49 housing suburbs in the Newcastle LGA, and it could have been 31 but for a transaction-free year in Lenaghan.

September's $8.75 million sale of 44 Kilgour Avenue, Merewether made headlines by crushing the region's previous $7.25 million record, and there were others that broke previous records by $1 million plus.

Hamilton, Hamilton South, New Lambton Heights and The Junction all set huge new benchmarks, and others are believed to have been set off-market.

Of the 49 suburbs, all but seven (Beresfield, Birmingham Gardens, Hexham, Jesmond, Sandgate, Shortland and Tarro) have hit the $1 million mark heading into 2022.
