WELCOME TO OUR SIXTH EDITION OF ON THE MARKET 2026 Autumn has settled across the Upper North Shore, bringing with it a shift to a more balanced and considered property market. Across Sydney, increased listing volumes have brought more choice to buyers, easing some of the intensity seen earlier in the year while still maintaining relatively firm conditions. Auction activity remains consistent, although clearance rates have softened slightly as supply has risen, signalling a more balanced dynamic between buyers and sellers. Locally, this shift is beginning to be reflected in pricing and buyer behaviour. Average listing prices across the Upper North Shore have lifted in recent months, highlighting continued underlying confidence despite a more considered pace of decision-making among buyers. At the same time, buyers are becoming more selective, with pricing and presentation playing an increasingly important role in achieving strong outcomes. Broader Sydney trends are also influencing local sentiment. With affordability constraints still front of mind and interest rates expected to weigh on momentum, the market is transitioning into a more sustainable phase. This aligns with wider conditions across the country, where price growth continues at a steadier, more consistent pace following the stronger gains seen in recent years. Importantly, demand remains present, particularly for well-presented homes that are aligned with current market expectations. For both buyers and sellers, this creates a more considered and competitive environment. Increased supply is providing buyers with greater choice, while for sellers, it places a stronger emphasis on strategic pricing, presentation and tailored marketing to stand out. Those who approach the market with a well-informed and deliberate strategy are continuing to achieve strong results. As we move further through the cooler seasons, autumn presents an ideal time to make a move, with balanced conditions offering the opportunity to transact with confidence. If you are considering your next step, now is the time to explore selling in autumn.
