Bargain buys: Seven Newcastle homes that sold below the suburb's median

RECORD sales are still happening across Newcastle.

This terrace at 27 Queen Street, Cooks Hill is listed for sale with a guide of $820,000 to $880,000, which is under the suburb's median of $1,456,849.

And while it is easy to be disheartened by the property market as house prices begin to rise once again, there is still the opportunity to gain entry into or make a move to a suburb that you have your heart set on living in without spending above the median value.
