Most of the incoming supply in Hunter Valley is residential land lots, which will take time to build (into a new home). There are new units, townhouses, and houses planned; however, compared to Q4 2025 sales of 246 houses, this is not enough. Thus, more pressure will be placed on prices, for all stock types.
