WELCOME TO OUR TWELFTH EDITION OF ON THE MARKET 2026 Momentum is beginning to build across the property market as we head towards the traditional spring selling season. Buyers are returning to the market, sellers are preparing their homes, and activity is expected to build steadily over the coming months. The Sydney property market has settled into a more balanced environment following several years of exceptional growth. Rather than the fast-moving conditions seen in recent years, today's market is rewarding thoughtful pricing, strategic marketing and well-prepared properties. Encouragingly, investor participation has started to recover following last year's slowdown, while buyer enquiry remains consistent as confidence continues to improve. Across the Upper North Shore, the market continues to demonstrate its long-term resilience. While annual price growth has moderated, the broader picture remains positive, with house values across Ku-ring-gai increasing by approximately 60 per cent over the past decade. This long-term performance highlights the strength of the local market through changing economic conditions and reinforces the value of taking a measured, long-term view. There are also encouraging signs heading into the second half of the year. Ray White data indicates open home attendance is beginning to stabilise after easing earlier in 2026, while recent auction data shows bidder numbers continuing to build as the market heads towards spring. Together, these trends point to improving buyer engagement and growing confidence ahead of the traditional spring selling season. For homeowners considering a move, now is the ideal time to start planning. Preparing early allows time to refine your presentation, develop the right marketing strategy and position your property to capitalise on the increased buyer activity that spring traditionally brings. Success, however, is about much more than timing alone. In today's market, informed pricing, thoughtful preparation and a tailored marketing approach can make a significant difference to both buyer interest and the final result achieved. If you're thinking of selling this spring, we'd love to help you make the most of the opportunities ahead.
