Two bedrooms, two bathrooms: what are buyers paying in Bondi Junction?
The same bedroom count can mean a $1.4 million courtyard home, an established apartment near $2 million, or a new luxury residence advertised above $4 million. The property, the price and the ownership experience are very different.
One bedroom count. A million-dollar spread.
Our review of 13 selected sales and reported sales found prices from $1.405 million to $2.395 million, with a median of $1.76 million. The sample includes the $1.46 million sale at 802/253 Oxford Street advised to Weiss Real Estate, not yet reflected in the CoreLogic record reviewed. The individual results show why it pays to look beyond a suburb median.

A strong price today is not the same as growth.
The Gray Street apartment’s $1.8 million resale was almost unchanged from its $1.805 million contract in March 2022. Longer-held properties tell different stories. These are nominal price changes, not investment returns — renovations, stamp duty, selling expenses, strata costs, financing and rental income all affect the outcome, and some earlier contracts predate building completion.
Nominal recorded prices only. Contract dates should not be confused with the period an owner held a completed home.
What does a new apartment cost?
Public advertising checked on 17 October 2026. These are advertised guides, not negotiated offers or completed sales — and they do not establish the cheapest available new apartment or a suburb-wide range.
New entry vs the resale median: $790,000 — about 45%.
Against the selected resale median of $1.76 million, a $2.55 million new apartment costs $790,000 more. Compared with the reported $1.46 million Capitol sale, the difference is $1.09 million; against the $1.8 million Gray Street sale, $750,000. These are purchase-budget comparisons, not proof the apartments are equivalent — interior size, outlook, terrace, specification and facilities can account for part of the difference, and asking prices are not completed sales.

Identify exactly what the additional spend delivers.
For a buyer considering a new apartment, the useful exercise is to inspect what the same budget buys in established buildings, then test the difference line by line. New apartments can offer design, finishes and facilities. Established apartments can provide a lower entry price and a completed home you can inspect in detail. Neither category guarantees a better financial outcome.
Compare verified internal area separately from balconies, parking and storage.
Assess natural light, floor-plan efficiency, privacy and the outlook from inside the home.
Review the building’s records, current levies and expected expenditure alongside the apartment.
Confirm actual inclusions and delivery timing — public completion estimates can differ between sources.
Two bedrooms and two bathrooms begin the comparison. They do not finish it.
My approach is to bring the purchase back to the individual property: what has sold, what the apartment offers, what ownership will cost and how it compares with the alternatives.

Research note: Resale evidence is drawn from the 13-property CoreLogic review dated 16 October 2026, including one additional sale price supplied by Alan Weiss. New-property prices are public advertised guides checked on 17 October 2026, not negotiated offers or confirmed completed sales. Prices, availability and inclusions require confirmation for the particular residence. No price-per-square-metre comparison has been made using the export’s land-area fields.
