Market update WINTER 2025 Courtesy of James Levy Ray White Upper North Shore
The St Ives property market continues its steady and impressive climb, as evidenced by the 10-year price trend. Both house and unit prices have shown remarkable resilience and growth over the past decade, with current median house prices comfortably above the $3 million mark at $3,200,000 and growing, with units at a robust $950,000. This consistent upward trajectory, despite recent economic headwinds, underscores the enduring appeal and stability of the St Ives market, driven by strong underlying fundamentals like limited land availability and consistent demand. St Ives listing volumes over the past year paints a clear picture of a market characterized by constrained supply. While 2025 has seen monthly listing volumes track below both 2023 and 2024 figures, particularly in recent months, this tightness in available stock is a key driver of current market dynamics. This imbalance between demand and supply continues to exert upward pressure on prices. Buyers should expect a highly competitive market, requiring proactive strategies and potentially a swift decision-making process to secure their desired property. The seasonal patterns show peaks in listings during the spring months (August-October) for all three years, but 2025 shows a significantly lower peak than the previous two years, reaffirming the constrained supply situation. While some volatility was observed in house prices between 2022 and 2023, the market has shown a strong capacity for recovery. This positive trend suggests continued capital growth potential for homeowners and attractive investment opportunities for astute buyers, although future growth may moderate from the rapid pace seen in earlier years of this decade. 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.
