FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
OVERVIEW
In Q1 2026, Dapto* recorded a median house price of $983,500 and a median unit price of $830,000. This represents an annual (Q1 2025 – Q1 2026) price growth of 17.1% for houses and 17.1% for units. Comparing Q1 2025 and Q1 2026, total sales declined by -22.7% (to 119 sales in Q1 2026) for houses and surged by 13.8% (to 33 sales in Q1 2026) for units. This confirms a highly demanded market, for both houses and units, which created a buffer against higher interest rates in 2026. This suggests that now is still an ideal time for owners to capitalise on their investments. For buyers, a large portion of residential stock due to commence construction in 2026 are new units and houses, which will provide more options.

There is many ready-to-sell housing stock planned for Dapto, which will assist with answering current demand. That said, with current challenges in the construction sector suggests delays are more than likely, making this a long-term solution than short-term. In the short term an undersupply will remain, especially for houses. This can continue to push prices up.
