Homes in Murga, NSW
Byrz holds records for 1 home in Murga.
What these pages are
Every home here has its own page showing what Byrz holds about it: what is stated about the property, where each piece of information came from, and any upcoming inspection times. These are records pages, not ads. Nobody paid to be listed here, and when our software has read something from a home's photos, that reading is always labelled as one.
Each home's page carries its own paths for asking us to correct something or to take the page down.
About Murga
These figures describe the whole area, not any single home in it. They are a way to get to know the suburb before you look closely at one address.
How this area scores with the ABS
SEIFA is how the Australian Bureau of Statistics compares areas. Every area in Australia gets a score from 1 to 10, and the score describes the area as a whole, not any one household in it.
Scores for the Forbes area, from the 2021 Census.
- Disadvantage
- 3 out of 10 across Australia
- Advantage and disadvantage
- 3 out of 10 across Australia
- Economic resources
- 4 out of 10 across Australia
- Education and occupation
- 3 out of 10 across Australia
This one is about disadvantage only. A decile of 1 means the area is among the most disadvantaged tenth of areas, counting things like low income, unemployment and homes without a car. A decile of 10 means it has few of those things. A high score does not mean an area is wealthy, only that it has little measured disadvantage.
This one counts advantage and disadvantage together, so it sits on one scale. A decile of 1 means the area has a lot of measured disadvantage and little advantage, and a decile of 10 means the opposite.
This one is about income and housing costs, and it leaves out education and job type on purpose. A decile of 1 means households in the area have relatively fewer economic resources, and a decile of 10 means they have relatively more.
This one is only about how much education people have and what kinds of jobs they do. A decile of 10 means the area has a lot of people with higher qualifications and skilled jobs. It says nothing about income.
Source: Based on Australian Bureau of Statistics data
SEIFA describes the area, not the people or households in it. These indexes are computed by the Australian Bureau of Statistics for Forbes, the statistical area this suburb sits in. A statistical area is a Bureau region of a few thousand people, so it can take in more than one suburb. A decile places the area against every other area in Australia: 1 means the lowest tenth on that index and 10 means the highest tenth.
Murga, by the numbers
Figures for the whole suburb, not for any single home.
Byrz does not see every listing in Australia, so these figures describe the listings it did see in this suburb. Each one is a share of that group over a single period, never a count compared from one period to the next, because a change in how many listings Byrz sees would otherwise look like a change in the market.
What is for sale here
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
The mix of homes currently for sale in this suburb, as a share of the listings Byrz can see. This is the single most useful thing to read before any suburb price figure, because houses and units sell for very different prices: a suburb that is mostly apartments and a suburb that is mostly houses will show very different typical prices even if the homes themselves are similar. The mix tells you which kind of suburb you are looking at.
Asking prices for sale here
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
How the asking prices of the homes currently for sale in this suburb are spread across price ranges. An asking price is what the seller is advertising, which is not what the home will sell for. Byrz shows the spread rather than a single number because two suburbs can share a middle price and still be nothing alike: one may have almost every home in one range, and the other a wide spread from cheap units to large houses.
How homes are sold here
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
The share of homes currently for sale in this suburb being sold by auction rather than by private treaty, which is the ordinary way of listing a price and negotiating. This matters to a first home buyer for one practical reason: at an auction there is normally no cooling off period and the contract is unconditional on the day, so your finance and your building inspection need to be sorted out before you raise your hand.
Open homes this week
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
The share of the homes for sale in this suburb that have an open home in the next seven days. It is a rough measure of how much there is to go and see this weekend. A listing with no open home is not necessarily unavailable: many agents show homes by appointment instead, and Byrz cannot see those.
Time to sell (sold campaigns only)
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
How many days passed between a home being listed and being sold, for the sales Byrz has observed in this suburb. The middle figure is the typical wait: half the homes sold faster and half took longer. The two figures either side of it show the quicker quarter and the slower quarter, which tells you how much the wait varies here. A long typical wait can mean sellers are asking more than buyers will pay, and a short one usually means you will need to be ready to move quickly.
Sellers cutting their asking price
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
The share of homes that have been advertised for sale in this suburb over the last three months and are still listed, where the seller lowered the advertised price at least once, and the typical size of that cut. It is the closest thing to a measure of how much room there is to negotiate. A high share means sellers here are having to come down to meet buyers; a low share means they are holding firm, and a low offer is more likely to be refused. Homes that have already sold are not counted, because Byrz sees them for only part of the period and they would pull the figure down for the wrong reason.
Rent against asking price
Byrz needs to have seen at least 10 of these in a suburb before it will publish a figure, and it has not seen that many here. A share worked out from a handful of listings moves too much to tell you anything about the suburb, so Byrz shows nothing rather than a number you should not rely on.
What this measures
How the rent a home of this size attracts compares with what homes of that size are being advertised for. It is a rough guide for anyone weighing up buying a home to rent out, and it is gross: it counts no rates, no insurance, no strata levies, no repairs and no weeks without a tenant.
Recorded offences over time
Byrz does not hold enough history for this suburb yet to show how it has changed over time. It keeps one reading per period, so this fills in as the periods pass.
What this measures
How the rate of recorded offences in the police district covering this suburb has moved over recent periods. A police district follows police boundaries rather than suburb boundaries, so it can take in several suburbs or parts of them.
