Sydney Quarterly Price Growth Edges 3.9% Ahead of Same Period in 2025
Median dwelling values across greater Sydney reached $1.41 million in the June quarter, outpacing the equivalent three months last year amid steady clearance rates between 65 and 72 percent.
How we reported this
Sydney's median house price posted a 3.9 percent lift in the June quarter when measured against the same three months in 2025, according to fresh CoreLogic data released this week.
The result arrives as net overseas migration continues to add pressure on the inner ring, where listings remain scarce and auction volumes have held above 800 per weekend since March. Buyers who delayed decisions earlier in the year now face higher entry prices, particularly in premium pockets of the Inner West and Northern Beaches.
Inner West and Northern Beaches records
In the Inner West, properties along Johnston Street in Annandale cleared at a 71 percent rate last month, with three-bedroom terraces selling between $1.85 million and $2.1 million. Further north, houses in Newport on the Northern Beaches recorded a 4.7 percent median rise over the quarter, supported by demand from families relocating from the CBD corridor. Both areas continue to draw interest from interstate buyers using the NSW First Home Buyer Choice scheme, which allows stamp-duty concessions on homes up to $1.5 million.
Clearance data from the Real Estate Institute of NSW shows 68 percent of auctions in the June quarter found buyers, slightly above the 2025 figure for the same period. The median price for a detached house in greater Sydney now sits at $1.41 million, while units have climbed to $835,000, figures that reflect the tight supply in suburbs within 10 kilometres of the CBD.
Next steps for buyers and sellers
Agents report that properties listed before the end of July are likely to benefit from spring marketing windows, especially those within walking distance of Centennial Park or the light-rail stops at Dulwich Hill. Prospective purchasers should review their borrowing capacity now, as the Reserve Bank cash rate decision scheduled for August could influence the next round of rate notices from the major banks.
