Despite the city's median house price falling 1.9 per cent to $1,167,516, 14 new suburbs now have a median house price above $1 million, according to Domain Group data.
While entry to the million dollar club has been the norm across inner and middle-ring suburbs for some time, suburbs further out from the CBD - particularly in Canterbury Bankstown and Western Sydney - are gaining entry.
One of those is Silverdale, 55 kilometres west of the CBD, which now has a median house price of $1,037,500.
In the six months since March, when it had a median of $780,000, Silverdale's median increased by $257,500 - a 33 per cent increase.
"It was always going to happen, it was just a matter of time," selling agent Michael Coco, of Ray White Glenmore Park, said about Silverdale's median surpassing $1 million.
"It's always been a bit of a poorer cousin to suburbs around Penrith and Nepean. But with the speculation around the Badgerys Creek airport it has hit its straps and people feel that they'll be more connected to the city now."
Mr Coco said Silverdale had changed dramatically in the past 15 years and was popular with buyers looking for blocks of one acre or larger.
There are now 284suburbs with a median of more than $1 million in Greater Sydney, which includes the Central Coast and Blue Mountains.
The increase of suburbs to the once-exclusive million dollar club shows there is still a lot of energy in the mid-price ranged market, Domain Group chief economist Andrew Wilson said.
"Whilst the increase in $1 million medians has been marginal compared to the previous two years, it shows there is still upwards pressure on prices overall," he said.
"Buyers are pushing outwards now to find value that they can afford, which then creates strong price increases in the western and south-western regions."
In the Canterbury Bankstown region five new suburbs topped the $1 million median - Padstow, Panania, Revesby, East Hills and Roselands.
In the west, Colebee, Glenwood and Pemulwuy also joined the club, as well as East Hills and Cabramatta West in the south-west and Kellyville Ridge in the north-west.
Over in the city's Sutherland Shire, Bundeena and Engadine also broke through the $1 million barrier.
Following Silverdale, the suburbs with the biggest six-month increases were Elizabeth Hills, where prices increased by $213,000, and East Hills which had a $193,000 jump.
