Where the deals concentrate

By deal count, settled sales concentrated in North Rothbury, Cessnock, Kurri Kurri and Branxton. Dealings outside these suburbs spread across the rest of the council area — we name a suburb only once it reaches 5 settled dealings in the window. The busiest price band was $600k – $1M, with 64 settled dealings.

The numbers above are the starting evidence, not the advice. When we take a mandate in Cessnock, the settled record sets the pricing frame: what traded in your band, on what land, and how often. From there the engagement runs its five written steps — brief, search, stress-test, negotiation and the 12-month plan — with every recommendation priced against dealings that completed, not listings. Where this council area’s record is thin in your band, we tell you that too — and if the better buy in your band sits one council area over, the record will show it and we will say so.

How to read these figures.

Counts are dealings, not parcels: a sale that settles across several titles is counted once, at its full price. Quarters run by contract date, so the most recent months accrue late-notified dealings and revise upward — treat them as a floor, not a final count. The median is the middle settled price, which no single large sale can drag. And wherever a figure would rest on fewer than 5 dealings — a suburb, a size range, a median — we withhold it rather than let a thin number look solid. Over this window, Cessnock accounted for 135 of the 946 dealings settled across the five Hunter council areas.
