🏡 Sydney House Prices Hit New Record: Median Tops $1.7 Million
Sydney’s housing market continues to surge, reflecting strong buyer demand.
What’s Driving the Spike?
Sydney’s median house price has now reached $1.7 million as of June 2025—marking the strongest quarterly growth in two years. Prices climbed 2.6% in just three months (March–June), fuelled by high buyer competition and the impact of recent interest rate cuts.
Rising buyer activity is pushing Sydney house prices higher.
