The year, read plainly.

Each year the headlines reach for the same handful of words about Bondi: record, frenzy, runaway. The transaction record tells a quieter and far more useful story.

The 2026 record runs from 15 January to 22 September. 97 sales: 19 houses and 78 units, worth $229.8 million. The house median is $4.05 million. The unit median is $1.66 million.

Bondi is an apartment market first. Four sales in every five were units, and units carried $146.1 million, 64 per cent of the money. That is the opposite of every prestige suburb around it, where houses do the heavy lifting. Houses here are scarce, and when one comes up, it is contested.

Volume, month by month.

February was the busiest month: 22 sales, 17 of them units. The pace held through autumn, with 14 to 16 sales in each month from March to June. Then the record goes quiet: one sale in July, five in August, six in September. Some late sales are not yet on the record, so read the third quarter as a floor.

Every sale, plotted.

Each dot is one sale. The units form a dense band between $1 million and $3 million. The houses sit above them, mostly between $3 million and $5 million. 6 Jackaman Street led the year at $8.725 million in February. Two of the next three results are recorded as units but are houses in all but title: 3 Moore Street at $7 million and 1/14 Penkivil Street at $6.7 million.

Where the money traded.

The entry to Bondi is deep: 55 of the 78 unit sales were under $2 million, and another 20 sold between $2 million and $3 million. The house market starts where the units stop. Thirteen of the 19 houses sold between $3 million and $5 million, the band where buyers are most numerous and most discerning about condition, layout and value. Only five houses cleared $5 million.

Quarter by quarter.

The first two quarters were close to identical in value: $100.6 million from 39 sales, then $99.4 million from 46. The second quarter traded more apartments for less each. The third has been quiet so far, 12 sales for $29.8 million, with only three houses.

The top of the market.

6 Jackaman Street, a substantial family home on a tightly held street, set the benchmark at $8.725 million. 2 Denham Street followed at $6.308 million, five days later. Bondi’s prestige tier is real, but narrow: what these results share is land, parking and family accommodation that cannot be replicated street by street.

My view.

It is worth saying what the market is not. It is not uniformly hot. The prestige tier is real but narrow, and most of Bondi trades in a tighter, more rational range: apartments under $2 million, houses between $3 million and $5 million.

For apartment owners, depth is the advantage. Seventy-eight sales means buyers have plenty to compare against, and the well-presented, well-positioned apartments are the ones that stand out. For house owners, scarcity is the advantage. Nineteen houses in nine months means every good one is noticed.

The market will pay generously for a well-presented home in a sought position, and it will pay for land it can do something with. It will not pay a premium for hope. The difference between a strong result and an ordinary one in 2026 is rarely the property. It is the preparation, the timing and the counsel behind it.

Scarcity, not sentiment, is doing the work.

Thinking about selling in Bondi? With 97 sales on the record this year, buyers are comparing. Make yours the one they choose.

Methodology. Bondi NSW 2026. The 2026 figures are calculated from a property export of 109 records dated 15 January to 22 September 2026 (export dated 2 October 2026). Eleven records without a published sale price are left out of this page. 1/14 and 2/14 Penkivil Street appear at the same price on the same day; they are counted once, as a single $6.7 million sale. That leaves 97 sales: 19 houses and 78 units. Several other unit pairs share a building, a price and a date (40-46 Penkivil Street, 8-10 Flood Street, 20 Edward Street, 32 Edward Street and 22A New Street) and are counted as separate sales, as recorded. Houses include one-storey records. 3 Moore Street and 1/14 Penkivil Street are recorded as units. Medians, totals, bands, quarterly figures and street counts are calculated directly from the 97 sales. Sales data is indicative, not a valuation. Past results are not a guarantee of future outcomes.
