Sydney market intelligence · why it matters when you buy

The map tells you what the listing won't.

A price guide is the agent's number. The area trend is the market's. Two minutes here tells you whether you're bidding into a rising area, a falling one, or one that has stalled. What to do about it is the next step.

Know the direction before you walk in

An agent's guide is one number. The map shows whether the area behind it is rising, flat or falling, and by how much.

Spot areas turning early

The ranked list shows every area ordered by change. Areas moving against the rest of Sydney are the ones to look at twice.

Then check the address

An area trend is context. The free knest report on the exact address gives the comparable sales, the risks on the lot and an independent estimate. How to turn all that into an offer is in the guide.

Market intelligence · 21 October 2026

The market read: Sydney right now

Sydney house prices fell in the three months to 11 October 2026. Of the 88 areas with enough sales to measure, 67 were lower than a year ago, 17 were about the same and 4 were higher. The typical area was down 8.1% on a year ago.

The biggest rises were in Leppington (+14.0%, typical house $1.19m) and Randwick (+10.6%, typical house $4.2m). The biggest falls were in St Ives (-35.0%, typical house $2.22m) and Turramurra (-32.1%, typical house $2.25m). Expensive areas fell more than cheaper ones: areas over $2m were -13.0% on a year ago, areas under $1.3m -4.0%.

These numbers are early. Only about 42% of the sales for this period have been recorded so far, because official records arrive months after a sale. The latest 90 days stay provisional and the figures update as more sales are recorded.

Before you make an offer

Questions buyers ask

Are Sydney house prices going up or down right now?

In the latest 90 days, 67 of the 88 Sydney areas with enough sales were lower than a year ago, 4 were higher and 17 were about the same. The typical area was down 8.1%. These numbers are early: official sale records arrive months late, so the figures will change as more sales come in.

Which Sydney areas are rising fastest?

On the latest 90 days, Leppington Area led with +14.0% on a $1.19m median, followed by Randwick Area (+10.6%) and Austral Area (+9.6%). The map's ranked list shows all 88 areas and updates weekly.

Which Sydney areas are falling?

St Ives Area had the largest fall at -35.0% on a $2.22m median, with Turramurra Area (-32.1%) and Sans Souci Area (-26.8%) behind it. A fall in one 90-day window is a signal to check, not a verdict: open the area to see the two-year trend and the sales count behind the number.

What is an "area" on the map?

A group of neighbouring suburbs. One suburb often has too few sales in three months to give a reliable price, so the map groups suburbs into 91 areas that cover all of Greater Sydney. An area needs at least 20 house sales in the three-month window to show a figure; if it has fewer, it is grey.

Where does the data come from and how often is it updated?

House sales from official NSW records, plus sales reported online, listings and auction results for the months the official records have not caught up with yet. Houses, duplexes, terraces, townhouses and villas are included; apartments are not. The map is rebuilt every week; this version is dated 21 October 2026.

How should I use this before making an offer?

Check which way the area is moving and how many sales sit behind the figure, then open the free knest report on the exact address for the comparable sales, the risks on the lot and an independent estimate. How to turn those into an offer is covered in the before-you-offer guide, which you can request from this page.

How the map is built

Sydney is divided into 91 areas, each a group of neighbouring suburbs. For each area we take every house sale in the last 3 months and show the middle price (the median). An area needs at least 20 sales to show a figure; with fewer it is grey. "Change from last year" compares that price with the same three months a year earlier. Houses, duplexes, terraces, townhouses and villas are included; apartments are not.

Sales come from official NSW records, with sales reported online, listings and auction results filling the gap for recent months. Official records arrive months after a sale, so the most recent periods are marked provisional and are updated as records come in. This version is dated 21 October 2026. See knest data sources.
