State of the market
New South Wales in 2026.
New South Wales is Australia's most expensive housing market by a wide margin. Sydney's median house price sits around $1.6M to $1.7M in 2026, with a structural undersupply of well-located stock keeping the harbour-city market firm even as borrowing capacity catches up to elevated rates. Regional NSW (Newcastle, Central Coast, Wollongong) has compressed the discount to Sydney over the last five years, and the Hunter and Illawarra now trade at premiums older buyers wouldn't have predicted. Lifestyle suburbs along the coast, Byron, Kiama, Port Macquarie, have held the COVID-era gains. Investor demand is back at scale; rental vacancies in metro Sydney remain below 1.5%.
