Market update Q1 FY25-26 Courtesy of Duane Hunter Ray White Northern Beaches
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. The Northern Beaches market continues to perform strongly with the average house price now at $2,930,000, representing a healthy 5.8% increase over the past year. This equates to an additional $161,000 in value for the average home. Over the past decade, house prices have grown an impressive 78.4%, adding more than $1,290,000 in value. Units have also enjoyed steady growth, with the average price now at $1,300,000. This reflects a 4.3% annual increase, or roughly $54,000 in additional value, and a 53.1% rise over the past ten years. Together, these figures confirm the Northern Beaches’ enduring strength and long-term appeal for both homeowners and investors. Buyer activity and price segments Buyer demand for houses remains broad, with 1,200 transactions in the $1,500,000 to $3,000,000 range over the past year versus 845 houses sold above $3,000,000. Unit sales are spread across a wide range of price points, offering opportunities for first-home buyers as well as premium downsizers. Around 220 units sold below $750,000, while the mid-tier market of $750,000 to $1,000,000 accounted for more than 1,100 transactions. High-end units between $1,500,000 and $3,000,000 saw more than 500 sales, highlighting the depth of demand for well-located, quality apartments. Standout suburbs Several suburbs have led the way in price growth over the past ten years. Pittwater suburbs such as Avalon, Palm Beach, Newport, and Bilgola have all achieved growth of more than 90%, reflecting their enduring lifestyle appeal. Manly and Freshwater remain standout performers, adding well over $1,500,000 in value during the same period. Outlook 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. Duane Hunter 0415 708 992 duane.hunter@raywhite.com WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OUR MARKET?

LIVE LOCAL, LOVE LOCAL Q: What does your business specialise in? A: We specialise in exterior cleaning services such as pressure cleaning, surface sealing, soft washing, and house washing. We clean all exterior spaces including delicate surfaces that need a gentler approach like sandstone. Whether it’s bringing tired stone back to life or giving a home a full exterior refresh. Q: What work do you think is important that some people may not be aware of? A: Often overlooked is the long-term damage mould and dirt can cause to surfaces like paintwork and stone & sandstone. We focus on more than just making things look clean, we help protect the properties from potential permanent damage. It can also be a slip hazard on driveways and walkways too!

Great experience with Duane and Mitch “Duane and Mitch are a great team. Duane’s local knowledge and connection with the community makes him a compelling choice. Duane was accurate with his assessment of the market and managed the pool of buyers for our property very well. We sold the property within four weeks and achieved a great price. Mitch’s support to get the property ready for sale was a great complement to Duane. His communication was always quick and accurate and he bent over backwards to get things done. We are happy to see that our property has been passed to another young family starting their journey in our beautiful suburb.” SELLER, 40 LUMEAH AVENUE, ELANORA HEIGHTS The agent you hope for when you sell “Duane is the sort of agent you hope for when you want to see a property. He is professional, knowledgeable of the market and sales issues, was great at communicating with me when issues or the need arose and was very persevering when potential buyers were not always communicative. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as an agent to sell a property.” SELLER, 5/47-49 ELANORA ROAD, ELANORA HEIGHTS Fantastic agent “From our first inspection to the close of our negotiations, Duane and Mitch from Ray White were with us every step of the way. At no point did I feel Duane was pitting us against the vendor, if anything, his experience and professionalism helped guide us to close the sale. Once a price had been negotiated, Duane ensured that both our conveyancers were kept in the loop to ensure the exchange went through without a hitch. Five out of five-star rating for Duane and team as they genuinely earned it. Thank you again for helping us secure our new dream home.” BUYER, 6/69 KALANG ROAD, ELANORA HEIGHTS A WORD FROM MY CLIENTS Duane Hunter Licensed Real Estate Agent 0415 708 992 duane.hunter@raywhite.com Ray White Northern Beaches (02) 9970 7220 | raywhitenorthernbeaches.com.au Shop 4/69 Kalang Road, Elanora Heights
