East Killara & East Lindfield Market update JULY - SEPTEMBER 2025 Courtesy of Jessica Cao, Ray White Upper North Shore
YOUR LOCAL MARKET UPDATE 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 • I nterest 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. If you’re thinking of selling, my team and I use detailed buyer insights to drive competition and negotiate from a position of strength, so you get the best price.

LIVE LOCAL, LOVE LOCAL The Village Vet Killara Shop 3/50 Koola Ave, East Killara | 8350 5678 | reception@killaravet.com.au Mon to Fri, 8.00am – 6.30pm | Sat 9.00am – 1.00pm | Sun Closed Can pets pass illnesses to people? North Shore life means plenty of backyards, bush tracks, and green space for our pets to enjoy. We love that freedom, but it also means our pets can sometimes pass on more than muddy paws. These are called zoonotic diseases, and while the risk is low, knowing the main ones (and how to prevent them) helps keep your whole family safe. Ringworm causes circular, bald, scaly patches on pets and itchy, ring-shaped rashes on people. Prevent it by washing hands after touching pets and cleaning bedding regularly. Intestinal worms are common in dogs and cats and are especially a risk for children playing in the garden. Routine worming treatment and prompt clean-up of droppings is the best protection. Cat-scratch disease is caused by the Bartonella bacteria, which are carried by kittens and spread through scratches or bites. Reduce risk with flea control, trimming claws, and washing injuries immediately. Toxoplasmosis is often linked with cat litter, though more commonly comes from undercooked meat. Cleaning litter trays daily and wearing gloves for gardening, especially during pregnancy, provides peace of mind. Leptospirosis is a serious rat-borne disease that has re-emerged in Sydney since 2019. Dogs are best protected through vaccination and by avoiding stagnant water. Cases have recently been reported in Wollongong, Sydney, and Newcastle. Fleas and ticks are everyday pests, with paralysis ticks posing the biggest threat locally. Year-round prevention and daily checks are essential on the North Shore. The good news is that with up-to-date parasite prevention, clean habits at home, and regular vet care, these illnesses are easy to avoid. At The Village Vet, we’re here to keep your pets and your family safe and thriving. Your first vaccination or consultation 20%OFF
