$820,000Median house price · VIC 3023

Burnside's median reflects established homes on larger, double-fronted lots, rather than the smaller blocks of newer-release estates nearby. Burnside is the established choice in the area, not the cheaper one, a point the headline figures often miss.

Published Burnside medians range from about $735,500 to $939,548, a spread caused by small sale volumes and differing measurement windows. The defensible read across the major sources sits near $820,000, on roughly 75 to 78 house sales over the past year, with units closer to $680,000 on a small sample.

For investors, Burnside returns a gross rental yield near 3.0%, with house rents around $547 to $560 a week. Buyer demand has eased about 23% over the past year, and the suburb leans heavily toward owner-occupiers, which makes it a live-in hold rather than a high-yield investment.
