Marrickville, Gorokan and Toukley are among the busiest of Sydney’s cheapest suburbs, according to CoreLogic RP Data.

For houses, Marsden Park is the cheapest Sydney suburb, with a median price of $119,310. However, the suburb only saw seven homes sold in the past year. Far busier was Gorokan, with 241 houses sold in 2014. With a median house price of $306,991, it is the fourth cheapest suburb in Sydney.

3 Bertha Street in Gorokan sold for $310,000 last week.

The two bedroom house on a 550 square metre plot came with development approval for a duplex. The vendors paid $125,000 less when they purchased the home in 2007 for $185,000.

56 Gilbert Avenue, which was marketed towards first home buyers, sold for $300,000 in mid-January (pictured below).

The three bedroom villa has been recently renovated. The vendors, who paid $225,000 for the home in 2009, used it as an investment property. It was advertised to rent at $315 per week in 2013.

Marrickville has the fifth-lowest median price of any suburb within 10 kilometres of the Sydney CBD. With 213 homes sold over the last year, it is also the busiest of the 10 cheapest Sydney inner-city suburbs (see table below).
