Merrimac property update · August 2026

Merrimac property market update

From 24 May to 24 August, eight Merrimac houses, eight units and four townhouses or villas sold with a published price. That is too few sales to say all Merrimac prices are rising or falling.

In plain EnglishHouse prices were lower than in the earlier report. Unit prices were higher. Townhouse and villa prices changed very little. But only eight houses, eight units and four townhouses or villas sold with a published price. A few unusual properties can change these figures quickly.

The latest three months

Sales recorded24 May to 24 August 2026We compared these prices with the earlier report ending 13 July. Some sales are in both reports because the dates overlap. There were also very few sales. Use these figures to see what sold, not as proof that all Merrimac properties rose or fell by the same amount. Reviewed 24 August 2026. Sales take time to settle and be recorded, so this is a market snapshot—not a valuation of an individual property.

Sales with a disclosed price: 8
Half sold within: 42 days

Median sale price: $947,500
Sales with a disclosed price: 4
Half sold within: 37.5 days
