The Cowra property market is gearing up for the spring selling season with renewed optimism on the back of several interest rate cuts and buyer demand driven by similar patterns that have affected our market over the last few years.
We are still experiencing good growth, with tight rental vacancies and increasing demand from both local and out-of-area buyers.
According to online data the median house price is now around $465,000.
Several factors are driving the market for example investor interest is generated by the higher rental yields and lower property prices compared to Sydney. With rental vacancy rates still relatively low, this helps drive interest in and demand for rental properties in the area.

Another large portion of our buyer database is from buyers coming to Cowra for a lifestyle change seeking a simpler more relaxed life. With the higher density housing being pushed in nearly all suburban and coastal areas many buyers are seeking a life where they won’t be stuck in traffic jams and can enjoy the country lifestyle.
Cowra has seen steady growth in their property markets over the past 12 months, with rising capital growth.
Having said this the impact of the new hospital construction and the influx of workers on that site was tangible in the Cowra real estate market over the last 18 months to 2 years as this project is now winding down, it is imperative that local government does all they can to keep stimulating our Cowra economy and not putting stumbling blocks in front of development proposals for the town.
Key Figures as of September 2025:
Median House Price: Approximately $455,000–$465,000.

In Cowra you can still get the Great Australian Dream !
Working in sales I like to highlight the advantages of choosing to live in Cowra.
Compared to living in suburban areas in Cowra you can still buy what was known as the great Australian dream the quarter acre block or 1,000m2 and in Cowra this is still commonly available.
Compare this with living in suburbia where new housing sub-divisions are now being approved where everything is reduced in size with blocks of land to build on of between 350 - 450 square metres. There is often no yard for the children to play, no rotating hills clothesline and your neighbours are so close you can hear what they are thinking.
In Cowra we still have large blocks mean there is room for the kids to play in the backyard, room to have a vege garden and room for chickens and pets to roam. Buyers I deal with see this and love it and it is another example of why Cowra is such a great place to live.
