The Eastern Suburbs property market has demonstrated remarkable resilience and growth over the last two years. Following a solid 2024, the market surged in 2025 with over 5,200 transactions generating a combined sales value of $15.56 billion. Prestige records were shattered, led by the $130 million sale of 550 New South Head Road and the $59 million dual-sale at Victoria Road, Bellevue Hill.

As we look to 2026, the narrative is shifting from recovery to transformation. With state housing targets mandating over 18,000 new homes across Woollahra, Waverley, and Randwick, we are entering an unprecedented construction cycle.

The Outlook: While buyer confidence remains high, the incoming wave of luxury apartment supply may outpace the active pool of downsizers. The market is fragmenting: mass stock may face headwinds, but blue-chip positioning, architectural merit, and heritage pedigree will continue to command premium results. In 2026, quality is the ultimate currency.
