SALES
As we advance further into 2023, we're observing steady growth and positive trends in the local property market. Comparing year-to-date figures with the same period last year, Wentworth Point (WWP) has recorded an impressive 16% more sales, with 263 properties changing hands since January.
Our team at Chidiac Realty has been busy, successfully selling 91 homes since the year started. In July, we facilitated the exchange of 11 homes across Sydney, including seven in Wentworth Point.
We continue to see high buyer interest levels. In July, we welcomed 591 groups across 29 properties, indicating that potential buyers are actively seeking and investing in their dream homes.
Market prices are on a positive trajectory. The WWP median price in July climbed for the fifth consecutive month, rising from $719,100 to $723,900. This 0.7% increase indicates a continued steady upward trend.
Property supply in WWP has seen a slight increase, with a 10% rise from June, and now stands at 135 properties for sale in the area. However, this represents a 9% decrease compared to the supply this time last year (149 properties).
The Reserve Bank of Australia has maintained interest rates at 4.1% for the second consecutive month, providing stability in our economic landscape.
As we approach the traditionally busy spring market, it's a particularly opportune time to consider selling your property. This period typically sees an influx of buyers looking to achieve their property goals before year-end.
