If you’ve been feeling priced out of Sydney’s property market, here’s some refreshing news: there are still pockets of value hiding in plain sight.
According to a recent analysis by SuburbData, a number of suburbs across the city are currently undervalued compared to their neighbours – meaning they could be primed for growth.
These are areas where prices have lagged behind despite offering similar housing, infrastructure, and lifestyle appeal. As demand picks up, analysts say “catch-up growth” is imminent. For buyers, that’s a golden opportunity.
In the south, Revesby and Revesby Heights are emerging as smart alternatives to higher-priced suburbs like Kirrawee. Families relocating from the inner west are increasingly drawn to these areas, attracted by the combination of affordability and space. With buyers bringing bigger budgets and higher expectations, prices are beginning to shift upward.
The inner west is also showing signs of renewed momentum. Suburbs like Newtown, Petersham, and Alexandria offer excellent value compared to nearby hotspots like Glebe and Annandale. Units in particular remain a strong entry point, with prices holding steady over the past five years despite the area’s enduring popularity and vibrant lifestyle.
Further west, suburbs such as Wentworthville, Granville, and Homebush West are quietly gaining traction. Located near major infrastructure and employment hubs, these areas have seen slower growth in recent years – but the fundamentals are strong. As affordability pressures push buyers outward, demand is beginning to build.
The SuburbData research reminds us that real estate moves in cycles, not straight lines. When buyers recognise value in an area, competition increases and prices rise – often sharply. These undervalued suburbs are showing early signs of that shift.
For first home buyers, investors, or anyone seeking value without compromise, this could be the moment to act.
Whether you’re looking for lifestyle, location, or long-term upside, these suburbs offer a compelling mix of potential and affordability.
