As we reach mid-2025, the property market across Sydney’s Upper North Shore is showing firm signs of stabilisation and renewed buyer confidence. Strategic vendors are reaping the rewards of competitive bidding, particularly in the prestige segment. The Marshall Group’s latest sales results point to strong local engagement and a consistent appetite for quality homes. Across Ku-ring-gai, infrastructure conversations — particularly the continued progression of the Transport Oriented Development (TOD) — are influencing buyer sentiment and long-term interest. Meanwhile, broader Sydney auction metrics confirm increasing clearance rates, reduced time on market, and healthy levels of attendance. For homeowners considering a move, there’s never been a better time to understand where your property sits in today’s market.
The Marshall Group Specific Data Insights
Our team continues to lead the Upper North Shore market with exceptional results. In the past 30 days, The Marshall Group has achieved an average sale price of $3.15 million, with properties spending an average of just 33 days on market — well below the regional average. Buyer enquiry has increased by 8% month-on-month, and our open home attendance numbers remain robust, particularly in Wahroonga, Pymble and Turramurra. Off-market transactions are also gaining momentum, underscoring the value of our extensive database and proactive buyer matching. These numbers reinforce our reputation for achieving premium outcomes in a discerning marketplace.
Ku-ring-gai Update: TOD and Community Sentiment
The Ku-ring-gai community continues to watch the NSW Government’s Transport Oriented Development (TOD) strategy with a mix of anticipation and concern. Under current plans, areas surrounding major rail stations including Gordon, Lindfield and Turramurra have been earmarked for significant densification. While this presents long-term opportunities for infrastructure and vibrancy, many locals are advocating for sensitive and balanced planning that respects the area’s heritage and green character. Buyers are already factoring future zoning potential into their decisions, particularly investors and developers, adding a new dynamic to certain pockets of the market.
Sydney Auction Market Holding Strong
May has marked a resurgence in Sydney’s auction market, following the school and public holiday periods. For the week ending May 18, 2025, Cotality (formerly CoreLogic) reported 555 properties auctioned in the Sydney region, achieving a clearance rate of 62.6%. Notably, the North Sydney to Hornsby sub-region saw 62 properties go to auction with a clearance rate of 69.4%, reflecting strong demand. Looking ahead, Cotality forecasts a 44.7% increase in weekly auction numbers, with 803 auctions scheduled for the upcoming week, indicating growing confidence among buyers and sellers.
