Summary of November Insights
Sydney’s eastern and inner-city markets continue to display strong buyer sentiment underpinned by short sales cycles and competitive bidding. Suburbs such as Queens Park, Coogee, and Bronte are achieving high premiums with rapid turnover, while Randwick and Surry Hills remain high-volume core markets attracting both owner-occupiers and investors. Bondi and Rose Bay continue to demonstrate consistent value retention and strong buyer depth. As we head into the spring period, the data indicates steady price resilience, with upward pressure expected in tightly held blue-chip suburbs where supply remains limited.
