Currently, median prices sit at $472,000 for houses and $300,000 for units, with much of the demand being for houses.
Research analyst for PRDnationwide Oded Reuveni-Etzioni said it was becoming a genuine buyer hotspot – due also to the affordability.
"We've seen a 5.9 per cent increase in house transactions in Liverpool for the six months to April this year, and more than a six per cent increase in median price for houses in the last year," Mr Reuveni-Etzioni said.
"With the median price at around $472,000 and with the suburb supported by a strong retail and health presence, buyers are comparing Liverpool to other more expensive areas of Sydney and seeing a suburb that offers great opportunities."
