About Alfords Point
Alfords Point is one of those suburbs that gets under your skin. Situated on the southern bank of the Georges River, approximately 22 kilometres from the Sydney CBD within the Sutherland Shire, it is nearly entirely surrounded by bushland from the Georges River National Park — with Brushwood Drive the only road in and out. That combination of seclusion, natural beauty and city accessibility is precisely what makes Alfords Point one of the most coveted addresses in southern Sydney.
The suburb takes its name from Jane Alford, widow of John Alford Senior, who owned 50 acres of land near the Georges River in 1828. Today, with a population of approximately 3,100 residents across just 964 dwellings, it remains an intimate, tightly knit community. An interesting local detail that residents quietly take pride in — every street in Alfords Point is named after a type of flora, including trees and shrubs.
Six parks cover nearly 41% of the suburb's 3.2 square kilometres, and the Georges River National Park wraps around almost the entire perimeter, offering hiking, fishing, picnicking and breathtaking views from the Alfords Point Bridge. On weekends, locals can be found kayaking the river, walking the bush trails, or simply enjoying the remarkable views from their own backyard.

The Alfords Point Property Market — May 2026
Alfords Point is consistently one of the most tightly held and highest-performing suburbs in the entire 2234 postcode. The numbers tell a compelling story.
According to Cotality data as of 27 May 2026:
Houses in Alfords Point have a median sale price of $1,950,000, with a median value of $1,993,108 — approaching $2 million and among the highest in the Sutherland Shire. The lower quartile sits at $1,821,250 and the upper quartile at $2,177,500, reflecting the consistently premium nature of the housing stock here. Just 34 new house listings came to market in the past 12 months across 964 dwellings — with 9 properties currently listed. That ratio of listings to dwellings is one of the lowest in the region, confirming just how rarely opportunities arise in this suburb.
The unit market in Alfords Point is effectively non-existent — there are just 18 units across the entire suburb, reflecting the overwhelmingly house-dominated character of this tightly held community.
With 97% of homes owner-occupied — the highest owner-occupancy rate of any suburb in the 2234 postcode — Alfords Point is a community of people who arrived, fell in love with the place, and stayed. When a property does come to market here, buyer interest is immediate and competition is real.

Frequently Asked Questions — Alfords Point Real Estate
How much is my property worth in Alfords Point?
The median house sale price in Alfords Point is $1,950,000 (Cotality, May 2026), with values approaching $2 million on average across the suburb. Upper quartile sales are reaching $2,177,500, reflecting the premium that buyers place on this unique riverside location.
However, position within Alfords Point matters significantly — river view properties, larger blocks and homes on quieter streets away from the main road command meaningful premiums. KORE Shire Partners offer free, obligation-free property appraisals and will give you an honest assessment of what your specific property could achieve.
How long does it take to sell a property in Alfords Point?
With only 34 new listings coming to market in the past 12 months across 964 dwellings, Alfords Point sees very limited supply relative to buyer demand. Well-presented properties here typically attract strong interest quickly — often from buyers who have been waiting for the right opportunity in this suburb specifically.
The median days on market reflects this — properties in Alfords Point generally sell within 30 days when priced and presented correctly.
Why are there so few properties for sale in Alfords Point?
Alfords Point has a 97% owner-occupancy rate and residents tend to stay for many years. The lifestyle — waterways, bushland, privacy, community — is genuinely difficult to replicate elsewhere at a comparable price point. Most owners who sell do so because of major life changes rather than a desire to leave. This low turnover is actually excellent news for vendors, as it means genuine scarcity drives buyer competition when properties do come to market.
Is now a good time to sell in Alfords Point?
Given the consistently low supply of properties in Alfords Point relative to buyer demand, the market here tends to favour vendors regardless of broader market conditions. With median values approaching $2 million and limited competition from other listings, well-presented homes consistently achieve strong results.
