Sydney’s property market found a renewed footing early this year, triggered by an initial interest rate cut - a brief ‘sugar hit’ that gave way to sustained confidence by May. While July didn’t deliver the anticipated cut, it has signalled there is more to come. Buyers who have paused are re-entering with intent, driving steady momentum - especially in lifestyle markets. The Quarterly unpacks this increase in buyer sentiment, how it is laying the foundations for a more active spring.

Generational wealth, long-term confidence and a strong connection to lifestyle continue to drive Sydney’s prestige market. In Q2, activity was broad, with demand spanning landmark apartments to architect-designed homes, across tightly held suburbs from Bellevue Hill to Hunters Hill.

Buyers remain to be discerning - drawn to architectural integrity, flexibility, and location. With limited supply and evolving preferences, Sydney’s top-end continues to mature, underpinned by stability and an appreciation for quality, both classic and contemporary.

It's here to stay - sustainability is no longer a niche consideration, or a premium extra. It’s increasingly the lens through which homes are assessed - particularly in Sydney’s lifestyle markets. Buyer's informed expectations are evolving quickly, shaping how homes are designed, desired, and lived in.

We explore updates in the Sydney rental market as it enters a new phase of greater balance and renewed clarity. After years of intense pressure, tenants now have more time to make considered decisions, with supply conditions easing. While conditions remain tight by historic standards, the market is shifting - bringing a sense of stability, and purpose, back to Sydney’s leasing landscape.

What remains to be clear is that Winter momentum is firmly in motion - with Sydney buyers across price brackets expected to remain perceptive for the remainder of 2025. As interest rates continue to fall, buyers who may have delayed their decision to purchase may be inspired to act and shape what is sure to be an active and opportunity-led Spring season.
