17 Croft Avenue, Merrylands NSW 2160

Merrylands demand is fuelled by its Western Sydney location, rail and road links to Parramatta and Sydney, and recent Cumberland Council CBD upgrades that improve connectivity, flood resilience and amenity, so buyers chase value below Parramatta while staying close to schools, shops and rental returns. Prices have been steady to modestly higher over the past six months – houses around $1.4–1.46 million with roughly 6% annual lift while units lag but show solid rental growth – keeping the market balanced between cautious sellers and firm buyer interest. Risks include upcoming unit supply and any further rate disruption, yet growth prospects remain tied to completed CBD works plus spillover from Parramatta/Westmead employment hubs.
