Despite Sydney property prices reversing as the sharp rise in interest rates continue to slash buyers’ borrowing capacity, newly launched and recently completed development projects in the city’s inner suburbs remain in hot demand.
According to REA Group, Sydney’s apartment market has remained highly attractive to buyers and active across their search engine after a reversal of just 0.3 per cent in prices so far this year.
Comparatively house prices have plunged 2.1 per cent but remain 22.7 per cent above pre-2020 levels.
The country’s largest real estate portal has revealed that across the year so far, high-end, architect-led apartment projects across a number of Sydney's most affluent suburbs remain firmly at the top of buyers’ wish lists.
High-rise developments such as Aqualand’s recently completed $475-million Blue at Lavender Bay project and Cbus Property’s $300-million development at Castlereagh Street were among the most-viewed products online.
Wealthy buyers have continued to target luxury apartments with Cbus Property’s 111 Castlereagh penthouse collection, which includes The Jones, The MacKellar and The Cambridge Residences, sold ahead of their official market release for a combined total of $66 million last year.
Buyers have also been drawn to emerging town centres and mixed-use development projects, such as Mirvac’s Green Square precinct and Billbergia Group’s Rhodes Central offering high-quality amenities, access to open space and parklands as well as restaurants, dining and supermarkets.
Boutique developments also scored the attention of REA’s users, with planned projects in emerging fringe locations such as Enfield and Castle Hill in focus.
