Where Sydney Investors Are Landing

Low stock is making for genuine competition on the properties that do come to market, and Sydney investors in particular are still snapping up apartments here, some sight unseen. Days on market remain strong, with most stock selling within about a month of listing.

Units are the standout, clearing at 82.8 per cent, up 5.5 per cent on last year, with prices up 9.8 per cent and days on market down 20 per cent to just 36 days. Houses are steady too, clearing at 68.5 per cent with 238 sales this year, though prices have eased slightly.

Appraisals are on the rise after a quiet winter, and listings for September and October auctions are already filtering through. Buyers are becoming more positive, which is translating into better clearance rates and slightly stronger results. Investors remain the dominant buyer type, with the most activity still sitting under $700,000.
