We are excited to keep you ahead of the curve in Sydney’s dynamic property market. As your dedicated team, we’re committed to informing you about the latest trends and opportunities shaping the real estate landscape so you can make confident decisions with clarity.
What’s Happening in the Market?
According to CoreLogic, growth in Sydney property prices has slowed in recent months. In December, dwelling values recorded a modest -0.6% decline. It is important to keep perspective. Despite recent fluctuations, Sydney residential property prices have still increased by an impressive 27.7% since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
More importantly, momentum is now returning. April brought a fresh wave of confidence, with the Reserve Bank of Australia holding the cash rate at 4.35% and the first interest rate cut helping restore buyers’ optimism. As a result, market activity is picking up, and Sydney property values now sit just 1.4% below their previous peak, putting us on track for potential record highs.
What Does This Mean for Owners, Landlords & Buyers?
For owners, the outlook is positive. Continued capital growth, stronger buyer confidence, and renewed momentum all point to a solid foundation for property performance in the months ahead.
For landlords, it’s a strong market. Rental demand in certain areas in Sydney remains high, vacancy rates are low, and interest rate stability boosts investor confidence. Now is a smart time to review your portfolio, maximise returns, or consider selling while conditions are in your favour. It is essential to discuss your investment with your Property Manager further.
For buyers, now is your window of opportunity. With prices still slightly under peak levels and further interest rate relief on the horizon, lending conditions are stabilising. Entering the market now could mean getting ahead of future price increases.
Apartments on the Rise
Sydney unit values saw a noticeable boost in February, driven by improved lending conditions and rising demand from first-home buyers and investors. This surge in interest reinforces the apartment market’s resilience and highlights the growing opportunity within this sector, particularly for landlords looking to capitalise on strong rental demand and long-term investment growth.
With the federal election soon behind us, the months ahead present a prime time to act. Whether you’re planning to invest, sell, or want a property health check as a landlord, now is the perfect time to get in touch.
