Sydney’s property market is showing renewed strength, and the latest data from Cotality reveals a clear shift in momentum – especially in the city’s most prestigious pockets.
In the past month alone, house values in Sydney’s north-eastern suburbs jumped 3.4%, leading the charge across Greater Sydney.
Bellevue Hill topped the list with an extraordinary 8.1% rise, pushing the median house price to nearly $12 million. Bondi Beach and Waverley weren’t far behind, with impressive gains of 7.2% and 6.7% respectively.
What’s driving this surge? A combination of factors – interest rate cuts have boosted borrowing power, especially for middle and high-income buyers, while low stock levels and strong demand, both local and offshore, are intensifying competition.
Add to that the appeal of unique, rezoning-free homes in tightly held enclaves, and it’s easy to see why prices are climbing.
But it’s not just the East making waves. The Inner West is also heating up, with Strathfield, Burwood and Ashfield up 3.1% thanks to infrastructure upgrades like Metro West.
Meanwhile, Canterbury has emerged as a standout performer, with prices rising six per cent over three months, which is proof that affordability and growth can go hand in hand.
For buyers and investors, this is a moment of opportunity. Whether you’re drawn to the prestige of the east or the promise of the west, Sydney’s market is offering compelling options.
The key is to act strategically: understand the drivers, watch the fundamentals, and position yourself for long-term success.
Sydney’s market is regaining strength, and optimism is building. If you’re planning your next move, now’s a great time to step forward with confidence.
