Murray, in action for Australia, has done very well with his investment property.
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment cost $1.25 million in 2019.
Set in a 1940s pet-friendly block of four, the apartment has a rear north east courtyard. Marketed as “low maintenance beachside living,” it is 100m from the beach.
The last sale in the tightly-held block came in late 2023 when another two-bedder sold for $2m.

PropTrack calculates after 21 sales in the past year the median two-bedroom Clovelly apartment is $1,725,000, down on its $1.81m peak last March, but well up on its $1.2m median around the time of its purchase.
Murray is building a duplex in Matraville with fiancee Miranda Cross. They paid $3.1m for the 710 sqm block in late 2022. Murray has been at Souths since 2017 having played junior footy at the Mascot Jets.
Murray is unlikely to play this year, after rupturing his Achilles tendon in training last month.
