Sydney's November market data painted a more balanced picture than most of 2025. Listings rose meaningfully, clearance rates held steady in the mid-60s, and median values ticked up only marginally.
Break it down by region and the story diversifies. The inner west and eastern suburbs continued to outperform the median, with clearance rates above 70%. The outer west softened. The north shore held flat.
For buyers, November signalled the return of selection. After an 18-month stretch where good properties moved in days, buyers now have time to do building reports, negotiate, and genuinely compare. Vendors are still getting fair prices — but they're having to present the home better to do so.
Looking into December: historically a quiet month, but listing volumes suggest this December will be busier than usual. If you're buying, now is a reasonable time to be looking. If you're selling, you're now competing for attention in a thicker market.
