Sydney home prices have begun to fall, with a 0.5% drop in April, equating to a $6,200 loss in value on the typical Sydney dwelling. Prices in higher-end markets like the eastern suburbs fell by up to $40,000.
Sydney home prices have started to decline due to interest rate hikes and global economic uncertainty. The April drop was 0.5%, with a $6,200 loss in value on the typical Sydney dwelling. Higher-priced markets like the eastern suburbs saw prices fall by $40,000. Some areas, such as Parramatta and the Central Coast, continued to see price growth. Experts warn that further interest rate hikes could lead to continued price falls. Greater Sydney prices remain 3.8% higher than last year, but a large correction is considered unlikely due to strong equity buffers and a resilient labour market.
