Anticipating a Surge: Sydney Home Prices Projected to Grow by 23% Over Three Years

Sydney’s real estate market is set to experience a substantial upswing, with forecasts suggesting a remarkable 23% growth in home prices over the next three years. According to a recent report by Oxford Economics Australia, this surge is expected to be particularly pronounced in the unit market.

Sydney Home Prices Forecast: A 23% Growth Projection

The Residential Property Prospects report, which extends its property price and rental market predictions to 2026, indicates that the slow growth observed in Sydney’s home prices throughout the remainder of the 2024 financial year will be followed by accelerated growth in both FY25 and FY26.

Unit Prices to Outpace Houses: A Closer Look at the Projections

The report suggests that unit prices will outpace house prices, with an estimated growth of 23.4% compared to 15.8% for houses. If these predictions hold, Sydney’s median unit value could surpass the $1 million mark, reaching $1,029,869, while the median house price may exceed $1.5 million, reaching $1,621,930.

Market Dynamics and Capital City Variations

However, the report notes variations in capital city performances, attributing a rise in total listings in Melbourne and Sydney to a potential slowdown in price growth. On the flip side, Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide are expected to benefit from low levels of advertised listings and affordability.

Interest Rate Cuts: Catalyst for Broad Price Growth

Maree Kilroy, the report’s author and Senior Economist at Oxford Economics Australia, emphasizes the potential impact of interest rate cuts from late 2024, which are anticipated to boost credit availability and reignite broad price growth.

Sydney’s Growth Potential Despite Challenges

Specifically addressing Sydney, Kilroy notes a slowing pace of growth attributed to an additional interest rate hike in November and rising total listing volumes. The report predicts house price growth of 3.3% and unit price growth of 5.2% for FY2024.

Government Interventions: Modest Impact on Real Estate

Despite moves by the Albanese Government to curb home price rises, including increased taxes for foreign purchases and doubled vacancy fees for homes owned by overseas investors, the impact on the Sydney real estate market is projected to be modest.

Unit Prices: Affordable Housing Driving Growth

The report suggests that the relatively more affordable price point of units is likely to contribute to stronger growth in the near term. Over the two years to June 2026, Sydney’s median house and unit prices are forecasted to increase by 5.9% and 8.3% per annum, respectively.

Resilience of the Sydney Real Estate Market

While anticipating some impact from government interventions, the report underscores the resilience of the market, citing population growth and a stable interest rate environment as factors likely to support prices in 2024.
