Sydney’s property market has wrapped up the March 2025 quarter with a story of quiet confidence and strategic growth, and at Adrian William, we’re proud to lead the charge in the Inner West and Inner City’s ever-evolving narrative.
The Market: Strength in Subtlety
This was a period where resilience met opportunity, delivering results that signal a market on the cusp of something promising. The numbers tell a compelling tale: Adrian William closed the quarter with over $117 million in sales with the quiet confidence that defines the marketplace. Sold listing numbers held steady at 91 properties, a testament to both strengthening conditions and the calibre of homes brought to market.. February proved the turning point, as CoreLogic data revealed a 0.3% uptick in Sydney house values, snapping a three-month decline. With the median house price now sitting at $1,186,459—up 1.1% year-on-year—the market whispered a reversal of fortunes, subtle yet significant.
Buyers, too, caught the shift in the breeze. Emerging from the cautious shadows of December, they flocked to open homes and fueled competitive auctions, their renewed confidence bolstered by whispers of interest rate relief. Homes reigned supreme, with 2-4 bedroom residences on 400+ sqm parcels stealing the spotlight, their scarcity driving demand to fevered heights. Yet, in a twist of nostalgia, character-filled apartments from the 1970s and earlier outshone their modern counterparts, proving that soul and story still command a premium in this market.
March brought a flurry of activity as vendors raced to list before the holiday slowdown, and buyers responded with urgency. Stock levels ticked up, setting the stage for a dynamic close to the quarter.
The Team: New Faces, Fresh Impact
The next wave of real estate brilliance has landed at Adrian William as the team grows in both size and stature. The arrival of Arden Savio, Nicholas Viewey and Rihann Barkley-Brown has added to the energy of Adrian William. Arden, a rising star from News Corp’s Top Agents Under 30, brings a tech-savvy edge to our Inner City corridors. Nicholas, with over a decade of precision honed alongside industry legends, elevates our craft further, while Rihann’s seven years of Canterbury-Bankstown expertise add a locals-only depth.
Looking Ahead: A Season of Strategy
As we peer into the June quarter, the landscape shifts with nuance. Easter, Anzac Day, and an impending Federal election cast their usual shadows, layering complexity over an already intricate market. Yet, beneath these pauses, the pulse remains steady, poised to quicken once the holidays fade. Adrian William anticipates a 10% uptick in listings compared to last year, with post-holiday momentum expected to drive activity. For sellers, timing is everything—those listing before the seasonal breaks stand to capture focused buyer attention. At the same time, extended campaigns may stretch to five weeks to navigate disruptions without losing steam.
Buyer sentiment holds firm, fueled by stable values and unrelenting demand in lifestyle suburbs. Sydney’s median home value has soared past pre-pandemic peaks, and February’s 25-basis-point interest rate cut has lit a spark, with many acting swiftly in anticipation of further easing. Houses continue their 5% annual climb, while apartments hum along at 2-3%, reinforcing the Inner West’s reputation for measured, resilient growth. Domain’s forecast of 4-6% house price growth for 2025 promises sustainable gains—the kind that builds wealth without the wild swings of yesteryear.
