Market update JULY - SEPTEMBER 2025 Courtesy of Amy Kaslar Ray White Upper North Shore
Spring has well and truly arrived, and with it a noticeable lift in market activity. Confidence is quietly building as new listings pick up and buyers show they’re ready to compete again. Auction clearance rates across Sydney have climbed back above 70%, the highest since mid-2023, and the Upper North Shore has seen strong competition with almost two-thirds of homes selling under the hammer. While days on market remain steady, the increase in activity is a positive sign heading into the busiest time of year. Buyer priorities are shifting Domain’s Spring Report shows Sydney buyers are heading into the season with functionality at top of mind. “Granny flat” has surged into the number one search spot as demand grows for homes with rental income potential, multigenerational living or flexible space. Lifestyle features are still popular, with “waterfront” and “view” remaining highly ranked, but “pool” has slipped to fourth spot, a sign that buyers are re-prioritising towards practicality. Character homes are also enjoying a revival, with “art deco” climbing from 12th to seventh place, pointing to a renewed appetite for heritage appeal. And while “study” has held steady in fifth place, it highlights that work-from-home features remain valued, even if no longer dominant. Key market indicators • Sydney prices are up 0.7% over the past month and 2.3% year-on-year • Auction volumes are the highest since June, reflecting growing vendor confidence • Interest rates remain steady, with economists tipping a potential cut later this year – further supporting buyer sentiment. Time to act Momentum is building fast, and serious buyers are ready to secure their next home before the end of the year. With competition strong and stock still relatively tight, this is one of the best moments in 2025 to sell. Contact me today to arrange an appraisal and maximise your result while buyer demand is at its peak.

Exceptional guidance and result Selling a home is never a simple journey, but having the right team makes all the difference. We were incredibly fortunate to work with Amy Kaslar, someone we’ve known for many years and who brings a deep understanding of the Westleigh property market. Amy is the consummate professional: focused, strategic, and an outstanding negotiator. She combines extensive experience with a warm, approachable manner. Amy consistently brought clarity and calm to each stage of the sale. Our property journey involved several steps - from styling and marketing to open houses, a public auction, and ultimately a private treaty sale. While the process came with its fair share of complexity and unpredictability, Amy together with Emily Ashman, and the broader Ray White team including Claire Storey, guided us through every stage seamlessly. We are incredibly grateful for Amy’s partnership and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate the real estate market with confidence. VENDOR – 23 HIGGINS PLACE WESTLEIGH Number One Agent “There is a reason why she is number one. We could not be happier with the outcome of selling our home and Amy and Emily made it so easy. Strongly recommend them!” VENDOR - 1 PAPERBARK WAY WESTLEIGH Simply the best agent team in upper North Shore Amy, Emily and Claire are the exemplars for others to follow.
