Following the rise of interest rates, the median house price for a home in Dubbo was sitting at $540,000, a 5.9 increase from the start of the year up until June.
Graeme Board of Bob Berry Real Estate said the figures are a good indication of how strong the market is in Dubbo.
"The resilience and strength of the Dubbo housing market is reflected in these results, with the median house price shaking off 10 interest rate rises to hold at $540,000 and the strong demand and low supply of units sending prices 10 per cent higher, to a median price of $342,000," he said.
"The strong longer-term performance of the Dubbo residential market is shown by an average annual increase over 10 years of 7 per cent for houses and 7.4 per cent units."
Annual sales were down approximately 25 per cent from what they were in 2021 while units were also in demand.
The median price of units has risen 10 per cent to $342,000 on 51 sales as of June.
