Sydney’s Northern Beaches property market is running hot into Winter

With the year in full swing already and Sydney’s weather starting to cool, the temperature is quite the opposite for the property market, especially along Sydney’s Northern Beaches.

2021 has already seen a rapidly growing property market right across the country, with no signs of slowing, let’s explore what that means for people looking to sell and how to get the best result.

The Sydney property market found new strength emerging from COVID

Low interest rates and increasing household wealth, together with a short supply of properties on the market and high buyer demand have all come together to produce the phenomenal sales prices we’re seeing today in our region.

Although Sydney’s housing values were on the lower side toward the end of 2020, we’re now at a record high, with housing value soaring to 5.7% higher when compared to over 6 months ago. This trend means that residential figures are rising far above that of the average Australian income.

CoreLogic’s Quarterly Auction Market Review released in April showed that Australia’s combined capital cities clearance rate reached 80% over the first quarter of 2021, up from 69.4% in the December 2020 quarter and 62.5% in the March quarter of 2020.

Sydney has clearly led the way for capital gains in March, with values surging 3.7% over the month and 6.7% higher over the first quarter of the year.
