As of mid-2024, the Sydney property market has experienced one of its flattest periods in recent years. Despite initial optimism for interest rate cuts by mid-year, persistent inflation has postponed any rate reductions until at least November 2024, possibly extending into 2025. Consequently, the Sydney median house value has seen a modest increase of 2.1% year-to-date, reaching $1,441,957. The median unit value has risen by 1.7% to $848,961.
