WELCOME TO OUR SECOND EDITION OF ON THE MARKET 2026 As we move through the early months of 2026, the Australian property market continues to operate from a position of stability. Conditions established in 2025 have carried into the new year, with activity levels remaining consistent and confidence holding across most metropolitan markets. While economic settings continue to evolve, the housing market has shown an ability to adapt, supported by steady demand and ongoing supply constraints. Across Sydney, buyer engagement has remained reliable, with limited housing stock continuing to shape outcomes. New listings remain controlled and competition is evident when well-priced properties are brought to market. Rather than a shift in sentiment, the market is displaying a more measured and deliberate pace, with buyers taking a considered approach while remaining committed to transacting. On the Upper North Shore, the market enters 2026 with clear momentum. Low levels of available stock and sustained enquiry have continued to underpin price performance across the region. Throughout Ku-ring-gai, results are being driven by fundamentals rather than urgency, with consistent demand supporting values and maintaining tight selling timeframes for homes that meet buyer expectations. As the year progresses, conditions are expected to remain balanced. While growth is likely to be more moderate than the peaks seen previously, the underlying strength of the market remains intact. Buyers and sellers alike are operating with greater clarity, creating an environment where preparation and strategy play a central role in achieving successful outcomes. The months ahead present solid opportunities for those considering a move. With demand holding firm and supply remaining constrained, informed decision-making and local market insight will continue to be key in navigating the year ahead with confidence.
