Berwick House Prices: What’s Changed In 5 Years?
Berwick’s house market has changed considerably since 2021, but the story is about more than prices. As at October 2026, realestate.com.au reports a median house price of $920,000 for sales recorded from October 2025 to September 2026, up 4.6% over the preceding 12 months. For locals weighing up their next move, it helps to look at the five-year picture alongside what makes Berwick a place people enjoy calling home.
The current snapshot: Berwick’s median house price is $920,000, with 840 house sales in the past 12 months and a median of 36 days on market, according to realestate.com.au’s suburb profile for October 2025 to September 2026. These are suburb-wide indicators, not a valuation of an individual property.
How have Berwick house prices changed since 2021?
Over the past five years, Berwick has seen periods of price growth as well as a more uneven market. A published historical series lists Berwick’s 2021 annual house-price median at $812,000, while realestate.com.au’s most recent rolling 12-month house-price median is $920,000. These figures come from different datasets and reporting periods, so they provide broad context rather than a like-for-like five-year growth calculation.
For the most reliable view of the trend, realestate.com.au also provides an interactive five-year median house-price chart on its Berwick suburb page. Because individual historical values in that chart are not available in its published text, we have not assigned a precise five-year percentage increase.
| Period | Reported house-price figure | Source and interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Calendar year 2021 | $812,000 | Historical annual median reported by PropertyGo |
| October 2025 to September 2026 | $920,000 | Rolling 12-month median reported by realestate.com.au |
| Previous 12 months to September 2026 | +4.6% | realestate.com.au’s reported annual change, not five-year growth |
Median sale prices can move when the mix of homes sold changes. A year with more large family homes changing hands can look different from one with more compact properties. That is why the suburb median is a useful starting point, but not the final answer for a seller.
What do Berwick house prices look like for different homes?
The type of house matters. realestate.com.au reports different medians for two-, three- and four-bedroom homes over the same October 2025 to September 2026 period.
| House type | Median sale price | Past 12-month change |
|---|---|---|
| 2 bedrooms | $690,000 | -0.2% |
| 3 bedrooms | $820,000 | +2.5% |
| 4 bedrooms | $990,000 | +4.2% |
These differences are a reminder to compare similar properties, rather than assuming one suburb-wide percentage applies to every Berwick home.
What has changed around Berwick in the past five years?
For many residents, a suburb’s appeal comes from the everyday experience: getting to work, accessing schools, meeting friends and having places to spend time outdoors. Berwick combines an established village atmosphere and local amenities with connections to growing neighbourhoods across Melbourne’s south-east.
One tangible change is the Clyde Road level crossing removal in February 2022. The Victorian Government replaced the crossing with a road underpass and upgraded the Berwick Station precinct with a bus interchange, parking, pedestrian links and bicycle storage. These are meaningful improvements to local transport access, although they do not prove that infrastructure caused a particular change in house prices.
Education options have also been expanding in the broader district. Topirum Primary School opened in Clyde North in 2024, and Balambalam Primary School opened there in 2026. Both are in neighbouring Clyde North, not Berwick itself. Their opening illustrates investment in services for the wider growing area; school enrolment eligibility and catchments should always be checked with the schools directly.
What matters beyond the median? Schools, transport links and neighbourhood facilities may influence how a buyer feels about a location. Their value to an individual household depends on its needs, and no single project should be treated as a guarantee of future price growth.
Why do we think Berwick is such a wonderful community?
To us, Berwick’s appeal is the balance. There is a sense of place in its established streets and village centre, alongside parks, schools, shopping and public transport that support different stages of life. Whether someone is looking for room for a growing family, a more manageable home or familiar neighbourhood connections, there is more than one way to enjoy living here.
That is the part of Berwick’s story that a house-price chart cannot capture. Property decisions are financial, but they are personal too. The streets people know, the routines they value and the community they feel part of all help shape a decision to stay, buy or sell.
If you are thinking of selling in Berwick, what should you look at first?
Start with sales of genuinely comparable homes: similar land size, accommodation, condition and location. Look at both the sale prices and how long those homes took to sell. Then consider your own timing, preparation budget and plans after the sale.

Common questions
Does a $920,000 median mean my Berwick house is worth that much?
No. A median is the midpoint of recorded sales for a given period. Your home’s value depends on its specific features and comparable local sales.
Has Berwick grown every year for the last five years?
No continuous annual increase should be assumed. Different periods and property types have had different results, which is why it is useful to review a consistent historical series rather than relying on one headline figure.
Did the Clyde Road upgrade increase Berwick property prices?
The transport improvements are verified, but the available evidence here does not establish a direct causal effect on property prices.
Do new Clyde North schools change Berwick school catchments?
Not necessarily. New schools in neighbouring suburbs do not automatically alter a particular Berwick address’s enrolment eligibility. Check current school-zone information for the specific property.
