A newly built home in Cessnock has sold for almost $1 million, highlighting the rapid rise in property prices across the region.

The four-bedroom home at 9 Lindsay Street recently sold off-market for $975,000 after being listed through Jurds Real Estate.

Situated on a 588sqm block, the modern home includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage.

Property records show the vacant block previously sold for $310,000 in March 2025 before the home was constructed, marking a significant increase in value in just over a year.

The sale is another sign of growing demand in Cessnock, with more buyers looking towards the Hunter Valley as housing affordability continues to tighten in Newcastle and Sydney.

Local real estate agents say newly built homes in sought-after parts of Cessnock are attracting strong interest from both investors and families relocating to the region.

The near million-dollar sale comes as the Hunter property market continues to experience steady growth, driven by population increases, infrastructure investment and lifestyle demand.
