Sydney’s housing market is entering spring with renewed momentum. Tight supply and lower interest rates are intensifying competition, with clearance rates pushing above 70% by winter’s end — the strongest since mid-2023. New listings have fallen to a four-month low in August, and total stock has declined for a third straight month, leaving buyers with fewer choices. Consumer sentiment dipped in September after reaching a three-and-a-half-year high in August, indicating that optimism remains fragile. Such pull-backs are common, but improving family finances, easing inflation and recent rate cuts suggest conditions could stabilise, supporting Sydney’s spring market momentum.
