NSW Value General data showed that from July 18, 2018 to July 18, 2019 the top selling street in the city is Wiveon Street in Gobbagombalin.

In the last 12 months, 26 properties (house, land and commercial) were sold, with prices ranging from $135,000 to $525,000.

Wagga Real Estate agent Greg Chamberlain said he was pleasantly surprised by the data and there are a number of factors drawing residents to the north.

"There's a lot of infrastructure coming out of this way and obviously Gobbagombalin and Bradman have been hugely popular due to the fact that it's on the doorstep of the university," Mr Chamberlain said.

"The first-home buyers grant is really fueling the brand new house market and up until about two months ago there were rural outlooks, but construction has started to occur.

"The other thing in Gobbagombalin and Boorooma is that it's affordable land especially Gobbagombalin and because it's flat, there's less excavation involved which means more affordable land-home packages."

Coming in at second place was Boorooma's Bradman Drive, with 23 property sales starting at $120,000 and reaching $539,000.

Mr Chamberlain said homes on this side are generally selling within two to four weeks and the median price for a four-bedroom home is $495,000.

He said the figures at about $120,000 would be land sales, which was cheaper than other areas where new homes are being constructed.

"Parts of Lloyd are selling between $160,000 to $180,000 because these blocks often have a gentle slope," he said.

"You've then got to cut it, retain it, put ag pipe systems through it and straightaway that can add $10,000 to your price before you even start the building.

"The benefit over here is that you can buy a block and literally start building. A retaining wall over here is also about 30 to 40 centrimetres high but in Lloyd, for example, they're getting up to two metres high, which adds a lot more cost to the construction price."

Mr Chamberlain said shopping facilities will need to be constructed in order for the northern suburbs to remain at the top.

"Over here it's still a bit of a sleeping giant and the next big thing that is going to keep the north side thriving are facilities like a supermarket or a general store," he said.

"The only real drawback on this side of the bridge, is that the Woolworths and Coles are on the other side of the bridge.

"There used to be a general store in Estella about 10 years ago and it had bread, pies, milk and the newspaper ... I believe a store would double the demand for properties over here."
