North Sydney’s Population Growth

Chronic rental shortage unlikely to ease in the short-term.

North Sydney has long attracted established professionals, and their numbers are set to grow. Migration, improved connectivity, evolving workforce trends and a strong local economy will continue to drive demand. With limited housing supply, especially larger apartments, pressure on the rental market will only intensify.

Trends Driving Market Confidence

The economic fundamentals underpinning North Sydney’s robust property market remain strong.

With Australia’s economic outlook improving, investors and purchasers have returned to the property market – and this is expected to place further upward pressure on apartment values. At the same time, planning controls have eased and cash rates are trending lower, bolstering developer confidence. North Sydney’s commercial hub is also evolving, as businesses move into new premium grade workspaces — a clear signal of long-term strength in this dynamic precinct.

A stable economic environment.

Australia’s GDP growth is forecast to improve in the second half of 2025, and inflation is now within the RBA’s target band. With unemployment at near historical lows (approximately 4.1%) and a series of cash rate decreases already underway, the forces driving long-term housing demand are robust.
