A market read plainly.

Darling Point is a narrow peninsula between Rushcutters Bay and Double Bay, with St Mark’s Church on the ridge, McKell Park at the point, and harbour on three sides. Most of it is apartments. They are not ordinary ones.

The 2026 record runs from 14 January to 22 September. 61 sales: 55 apartments and six houses, worth $307.1 million. Apartments carried $239.1 million of that, 78 per cent. The unit median is $2.85 million, the highest of any suburb in this series and more than double most of them.

With six house sales, there is no meaningful house median here, and this page does not quote one as a market figure. The houses that sold, from $6.2 million to $21 million, are shown individually.

Volume, month by month.

February to April produced 33 sales, more than half the year, with March the busiest at 13. The market then thinned. June recorded five sales, and July recorded none at all. August and September brought it back to six or seven a month.

Every sale, plotted.

Each dot is one sale. One house sits above everything: 15 Eastbourne Road at $21 million in March, 7 per cent of the year’s value on its own. Below it, apartments and houses trade side by side. 1/50 Mona Road sold for $12.7 million, more than all but one house, and four more apartments cleared $10 million.

My view.

Darling Point is where the apartment is the prize. A unit median of $2.85 million, 12 apartments above $8 million, and five above $10 million. Buyers here are not choosing an apartment over a house because they must. They are choosing it for the water, the outlook and the address.

Houses are the rarest asset on the peninsula. Six sold in nine months. When one comes to market, the field is small, serious and well funded, and the result reflects that.

The rhythm matters. More than half the year’s sales came between February and April, and July recorded none. In a market this small and this selective, timing a campaign to meet buyers when they are active is part of the price.

On the point, the water sets the price, whatever the title.

Thinking about selling in Darling Point? With a unit median of $2.85 million, the evidence is strong. Use it well.

Methodology. Darling Point NSW 2027. The 2026 figures are calculated from the Darling Point sales workbook of 67 records dated 14 January to 22 September 2026. Five sales appear twice with the same address, price and date and are counted once. One record without a published sale price is left out of this page. That leaves 61 sales: 6 houses and 55 units. Several unit pairs share a building, a price and a date (22 and 23/107 Darling Point Road at $11.6 million; 6 and 24/27 Sutherland Crescent at $5.2 million; 2 and 7/14A Darling Point Road; 7 and 9/16-18 Eastbourne Road) and are counted as separate sales, as recorded. Units include standard records. Medians, totals, bands and street counts are calculated directly from the 61 sales. Sales data is indicative, not a valuation. Past results are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
