New South Wales Market Update

NSW sales volume grows as houses extend their lead

  • The NSW property market grew 7.1% quarter-on-quarter in sales volume for Q2 2026.
  • Houses continued to strengthen across the overall NSW market, rising to 67.36% in Q2 (up from 66.81% in Q1).
  • Strata eased slightly to 26.32% in Q2, down marginally from 27.04% in Q1.

Strata is the clear entry point into homeownership for First Home Buyers

  • Over three-quarters (76.7%) of first home buyer purchases are strata title, up from 74.2% in Q1.
  • This continues a pattern where affordability considerations are evidently steering most first home buyers toward apartments and townhouses over standalone homes.
  • Houses made up 21.7% of purchases in Q2, a slight pull back from 23.2% in Q1 and 22.5% Q4 2025.
  • The modest momentum houses had been building through late 2025 and early 2026 did not carry through into this quarter.

Same suburbs, new leader: Dubbo tops a settled top 10

  • The same ten suburbs led overall NSW sales in both Q1 and Q2, with no new entrants and no dropouts, pointing to a settled group rather than a shakeup.
  • This group splits into two consistent cohorts: regional centres (Dubbo, Port Macquarie, Orange, Armidale) and western Sydney growth corridors (Austral, Box Hill, Parramatta, Castle Hill, Blacktown, Rouse Hill).
  • Within that stable line-up, leadership among the regional centres has shifted, with Dubbo overtaking Port Macquarie for the top spot in Q2.
  • Dubbo’s rise to the top of the rankings was driven by a 32.6% jump in house sales, part of a 24.2% overall increase in purchases. First home buyers made up only a small share, showing this growth reflects broader buyer interest, not more first-time buyers entering the market.

First home buyers reshuffle the top suburbs in Q2 2026

  • Parramatta has held the number one position from Q1 into Q2 for 2026, confirming its status as the leading destination for first home buyers in New South Wales.
  • Fairfield, which sits squarely in the affordability band that first home buyers are chasing, emerged as a significant new entrant moving straight into second place.
  • With borrowing capacity reduced by repeated 2026 rate hikes, Fairfield’s affordable, higher density stock has made it an increasingly attractive option for buyers.
  • Orange, rising from #5 in Q1 to #3 in Q2, is attracting first home buyers fast enough to push prices up, with median purchase price rising 8.9% to $728k and sales volume up 16.9% quarter-on-quarter.
  • Ryde, which moved from #7 in Q1 to #4 in Q2, saw sales rise 20.3% quarter-on-quarter while median price fell 6.6% (from $702k to $655k), likely reflecting its ongoing apartment construction boom, with new medium and high-density developments replacing ageing 1960s and 70s housing stock near the Macquarie Park employment hub.

Industry insights on buyer activity

In Queensland emerging outer suburbs like Caboolture, Morayfield, Burpengary, Springfield Lakes, and Redbank Plains are seeing significant housing demand. These corridors are becoming key growth areas in early 2026.
