Maitland – going against the NSW house price trend
The median buying price for houses in Maitland is $405,000, and renters are looking at about $368 per week. In the past five years, Maitland has seen a compound growth rate of 7.7 per cent for houses and 4.8 per cent for units. So, properties in this suburb don’t stay on the market for long and have bucked the downward trend that many other regions across NSW have experienced.
