Millfield, Hunter Valley, NSW – March 2026 – Stage 1 registered, services in place and lots on sale from April 2026.

Sydney based property group Landen has acquired Millfield Rise, a 217 lot residential estate on Mount View Road, Millfield, and committed to delivering an already approved community in line with Cessnock City Council’s planning framework.

Millfield Rise was previously brought to market by another developer and forms part of Council’s long term housing and growth plans for the area.

Landen exchanged on the acquisition in December 2025 following a competitive process and will progress the estate across six stages, with delivery sequenced to align with existing infrastructure and planning controls.

Stage 1, comprising 40 lots, is registered with services in place and will formally relaunch in April 2026, enabling buyers to move quickly from purchase to build.

Lots range from approximately 750sqm to 1,280sqm, reflecting demand for larger blocks while retaining the village and rural character that Millfield residents value and delivering value for money for buyers.

A central green corridor and walking track will run through the estate, linking open spaces and providing a landscaped buffer so new homes sit within the surrounding landscape rather than overwhelm it. A children’s playground planned for Stage 4 as part of the broader open space network.

Design guidelines will apply to all homes in Millfield Rise, setting clear standards for built form, materials and landscaping to avoid “anywhere suburbia” outcomes and ensure a cohesive streetscape in keeping with the Cessnock local government area’s character.

Located 12 kilometres from Cessnock and approximately 60 kilometres from Newcastle, Millfield Rise is aimed at families and first home buyers looking to stay in, or move to, the Hunter Valley with access to existing jobs, schools and services, while enjoying the benefits of a larger block.

Builder North Homes will construct a display home in Stage 1, which will also operate as a sales suite for subsequent stages and showcase the quality of homes anticipated within the estate. Early interest has also been received from a number of established builders, including McDonald Jones Homes, Clarendon and Domaine Homes.

Traffic, servicing and environmental considerations have been addressed through the project’s planning and approval processes, including required developer contributions and infrastructure works for the 1721 Mount View Road site.

Landen will continue to work with Cessnock City Council and service authorities to ensure Millfield Rise integrates with the broader road network and aligns with evolving regional infrastructure planning across the Hunter.

Landen Director Rashed Panabig said the group was conscious of Millfield’s history of strongly contested development proposals and is focused on delivering within the existing framework.

“We know Millfield has seen some very contentious proposals over the past decade and that residents have fought hard to protect its rural village character,” he said.

“Millfield Rise is different from those earlier flashpoints; it’s an approved estate within Council’s plans, and our focus is on larger blocks, a central green corridor and clear design guidelines so new homes sit within the landscape that locals care about.”

“Entering the Hunter is a considered strategic move for us,” Mr Panabig said. “Our track record across New South Wales is in delivering staged communities that match what was promised on day one.

At Millfield Rise, that means sticking to the approved plan, engaging with residents and making sure buyers can build with confidence on serviced, registered land.”

Stage 2 is expected to come to market in the second half of 2026, subject to market conditions and delivery milestones, with further stages to follow.

Further details regarding future stages, including timing, infrastructure and community engagement, will be released as delivery progresses.

Sydney, Australia – 9 October 2025 – Delivering on policy and community need, Landen has lodged a 444-home State Significant Development Application (SSDA) at Bella Vista, one of the first Transit-Oriented Developments (TODs) in the Metro precinct.

This $570 million project is a key milestone for both Landen and the NSW Government’s Tier 1 TOD program, translating rezoning intent into tangible housing outcomes in one of Sydney’s fastest growing corridors.

Located at 40 Memorial Ave, between Bella Vista and Kellyville metro stations, this 2.5ha site will deliver a diverse housing mix designed to support families, downsizers and professionals, setting a new benchmark for connected and sustainable living in Sydney’s north west.

Shane Harding, Landen’s Head of Property, said the Bella Vista SSDA demonstrates both the company’s vision and execution capability, turning policy momentum into action.

“As the first TOD proposal in Bella Vista, it highlights Landen’s ability to pioneer precinct-scale projects, integrate housing with infrastructure, and deliver outcomes that align with government priorities,” said Mr Harding.

“By focusing on family-friendly and downsizer housing, the project underscores Landen’s commitment to creating connected, sustainable communities while strengthening its reputation as a trusted developer in Sydney’s growth corridors,” said Mr Harding.

 

Meeting Western Sydney’s growing demand

Landen’s Bella Vista TOD comes at a time of strong population growth and housing demand in Sydney’s north west, with Western Sydney forecast to accommodate over half of Sydney’s total population growth by 2041, according to the NSW Government.

Reflecting this trend, Bella Vista – now home to more than 8,700 residents – is projected to more than double its population, reaching 18,089 by 2046.

Buyer demand in Bella Vista is also rising, with Realestate.com.au reporting a 19% increase in buyer activity over the past 12 months, highlighting the growing need for new housing in well-located precincts.

To meet this demand, the development will comprise 444 units, with a balanced housing mix of:

With the lodgement of the SSDA completed in September 2025, approval is targeted for March 2026.

 

Driving housing and infrastructure outcomes

Bella Vista was identified as a TOD Accelerated Precinct in late 2024 due to its proximity to key transport interchanges and amenities. The rezoning provides capacity for 4,600 new homes, 3,800 jobs, affordable housing contributions, new open spaces, and active transport links – targets Landen’s development aims to support.

“For Landen, the Bella Vista SSDA is more than a development milestone – it is a strategic step in cementing its presence within the Metro precinct,” said Mr Harding.

 

A benchmark for TOD delivery

As the first SSDA of its kind in Bella Vista, the project demonstrates how government-led TOD policy is translated into real housing supply, delivering wide precinct benefits through its integration with transport infrastructure, supporting the State’s vision for more liveable, connected communities.

Construction will commence mid 2026 with completion expected in 2028.

Sydney, Australia – 29 September – Amid tight vacancy rates and rising demand for flexible industrial land in Western Sydney, Landen Property Group has launched Wallgrove Business Park, a 4.72ha industrial and commercial business precinct in Cecil Park.

Located at 1111 Elizabeth Drive, just minutes from the M7, future M12 motorway and Western Sydney Airport, this circa $40M development marks Landen’s strategic diversification into the commercial sector, aligning with the $17.3 billion in infrastructure investment reshaping the Western Sydney region.

In response to Sydney’s industrial vacancy rate sitting at just 2.1 per cent, the precinct will offer flexible zoning across 13 lots, ranging from 2,300 sqm to more than 6,000 sqm, totalling 47,200 sqm within the Western Sydney Employment Area.

Shane Harding, Landen’s Head of Property, said the move reflects the company’s broader growth strategy and commitment to supporting long-term economic development in high-growth regions.

“Landen’s continued expansion into developments such as Wallgrove Business Park is a deliberate and strategic move that aligns with our long-term goal of building a diversified and resilient property portfolio,” said Mr Harding.

“While our foundations have been in residential, particularly in the growth corridors, expanding into other asset classes and sectors such as Wallgrove Business Park provides both greater opportunity for Landen and exposure to one of Australia’s most in-demand asset classes.”

Western Sydney’s next commercial hub

The outlook for Western Sydney’s industrial market remains strong, driven by major infrastructure investment ahead of the 2026 airport opening, with the region set to evolve into a key logistics and innovation hub.

Wallgrove Business Park is one of the few precincts in the area with broad, flexible zoning. It supports a mix of light and general industry, warehousing, logistics, quick-service retail and fuel stations, medical services, childcare and recreational uses.

Strategic positioning to meet market needs

Wallgrove Business Park is ideally located within the Western Sydney Employment Area, which accounts for more than 60 per cent of Sydney’s remaining undeveloped employment land, according to RWC’s 2025 Western Sydney Industrial Report, reinforcing both its relevance to industry and long-term investment appeal.

This demand is expected to remain high, with CBRE forecasting Sydney’s vacancy rates to stay below 4 per cent long term and the Federal Government’s Infrastructure Investment Plan fuelling momentum, with over $17.3 billion invested in transport infrastructure projects across Western Sydney.

Delivering new opportunities in a fast-growing precinct

As Western Sydney’s residential population continues to grow – projected to account for more than half of Sydney’s total population growth by 2041, according to RWC’s 2024 Western Sydney Residential Development Overview – so too does the need for nearby jobs, services and supporting supply chain infrastructure.

Wallgrove Business Park is placed firmly within one of Sydney’s fastest growing industrial corridors and is estimated to support up to 260 onsite jobs, 185 indirect jobs in the greater Fairfield LGA and 100 jobs during construction, directly contributing to the Broader Western Sydney Employment Area goal of delivering 57,000 new jobs over the next 30 years.

As part of the Government’s wider plan to anchor 50 per cent of Sydney’s future job growth in the city’s west, developments like Wallgrove Business Park are playing a key role in achieving this target.

Wallgrove Business Park | A gateway to limitless connectivity

For many Australians, buying a home is one of life’s biggest milestones—but it can also feel like one of the biggest hurdles. Rising house prices, stricter lending rules, and the challenge of saving enough can make the journey overwhelming. That’s why Homepay, in partnership with our trusted building partner North Homes, is designed to provide a smarter, more achievable pathway to home ownership.

Why Homepay?

Homepay is designed to make home ownership more accessible by bridging the gap between where you are now and the home you want to build. By rethinking the traditional lending model, Homepay helps buyers maximise their borrowing potential, giving families a clearer, more practical pathway to securing their dream home.

How Homepay Works

Homepay is designed to make the process simple and transparent:

  1. Assessment of Your Situation
    A lending specialist reviews your income, dependents, and financial position—not just a rigid set of bank rules.
  2. Tailored Borrowing Capacity
    Instead of limiting you to conservative calculators, Homepay loans provide a borrowing capacity that reflects your actual ability to service a loan.
  3. Match with a North Homes Package
    With your tailored borrowing power in hand, you can explore a range of North Homes’ house and land packages that fit comfortably within your means.
  4. Guided Every Step of the Way
    From finance approval through to construction and settlement, Homepay and North Homes work together to ensure your journey is smooth, supportive, and stress-free.

A Real-World Example

Consider a couple with a combined household income of $150,000 per year, two dependents, no existing debts, and standard living expenses.

This difference can mean the ability to secure a bigger home, live in a preferred location, or enjoy features that improve day-to-day living—without overextending financially.

Benefits of Choosing Homepay

A Smarter Way Forward

The combination of North Homes’ quality-built residences and Homepay’s innovative lending solutions means you don’t need to compromise on your dream. Together, they’re opening doors for Australians who want more than just a house—they want a home designed for the way they live.
If you’ve been putting off building your dream home because the numbers didn’t quite add up, Homepay could be the solution that makes it possible.

Take the First Step Toward Your New Home

Homepay is available on select blocks of land at Landen estates when you build your home with North Homes. Whether you’re buying your first home or upgrading for your family, this partnership makes the process simpler, smarter, and more achievable.

Buy now, pay later models that have revolutionised retail are being rolled out in the NSW building industry in an effort to boost buying activity among those struggling with rising living costs.

Mortgage repayments and other ongoing costs remain a significant financial drain for those waiting to have their homes built, and the aim is to ease this burden.

Homepay Offers Breathing Room for Buyers During Construction

Homepay is a “build now, pay later” finance model designed to allow users to pause mortgage repayments for up to 12 months during the construction phase – and it’s becoming available with more builders.

Multiple builders have already provided the option for home buyers across a number of projects, with residential builder North Homes earning accreditation as the latest NSW builder.

North Homes, an arm of property group Landen, will roll out the scheme across a range of house and land package projects from Friday.

Eligible North Homes buyers will be able to access the offer on house and land packages across more than 125 lots.

This includes sites in Oakville, Rouse Hill, Grantham Farm, Claremont Meadows, Marsden Park, The Honours in Norwest, and an upcoming release in North Kellyville. More estates are set to follow.

The finance model allows eligible buyers to pause repayments during construction on both their build and their land.

Regular repayments resume after the repayment-free period expires, and users are charged for the interest accrued over the pause, which is then repaid gradually over the remaining term.

Interest rates are charged close to the mortgage industry average, starting at 5.55 per cent for owner occupiers with higher deposits.

The option aims to help ease financial pressure for buyers by avoiding the burden of double repayments, such as paying rent and a mortgage, or bridging the gap between selling an existing home and settling into a new one.

North Homes Rolls Out Build Now, Pay Later Across Western Sydney Estates

Landen director Rashed Panabig said Homepay would give buyers more “breathing room” while their home was getting built.

“We’ve had a lot of direct conversations with buyers over the past year, and the same theme keeps coming up,” he said.

“We’re seeing more buyers who want to build but simply can’t afford to carry a mortgage and rent, or two mortgages, at the same time.

“In some cases, a shortfall of $50,000 to $60,000 is also stopping buyers from being able to move forward.”

This initiative was recently featured in realestate.com.au, recognising how the Homepay model is reshaping the path to home ownership in NSW.

Developer Landen and homebuilder North Homes have officially commenced construction on The Honours, Norwest, a boutique residential development set to redefine premium living in Sydney’s Hills District.
With a number of the 48 homes already sold, this milestone reflects both strong buyer confidence and the sustained demand for quality housing in Sydney’s thriving North West corridor.
The estate, located adjacent to Castle Hill Country Club and within proximity to Norwest Metro Station, offers standalone two- and three-level homes designed for modern family living. Prices for a four-bedroom home start from $1.98 million, with home sizes ranging from 200sqm to 250sqm, plus 20sqm of external space and a two-car garage. Spanning 21,500 sqm, the development caters to a diverse range of buyers seeking space, convenience and architectural integrity.

Architecture and Design

The Honours offers a distinct architectural vision, inspired by three unique façade options – Hamptons, French Provincial, and Modern. These brand-new standalone homes have been meticulously designed to complement the site’s topography and capitalise on its elevated position within Norwest, offering residents sweeping views and an enhanced sense of privacy.
Among the 48 homes, a very limited selection are exclusive three-level residences, each featuring five bedrooms and a private lift. These homes are designed to cater to multi-generational living, offering a seamless blend between functionality and luxury. Further enhanced by the dual side-by-side wine fridges exclusive to these homes.

Character-Filled Streetscapes

This boutique development is designed to foster instant street appeal, with each home uniquely tailored to the individual block. The Honours sets itself apart from other developments in its emphasis on visual harmony, while still offering distinct design choices.
This commitment extends to the estate’s stand-out landscaping, where both front and backyards are professionally designed to elevate the outdoor living experience. Additionally, with extensive local amenities at arm’s reach, including parks, recreational spaces, and eateries, The Honours offers a thoughtfully-designed, convenient and well-connected living experience.

A Strategic Development in a High-Growth Market

The North West remains one of Sydney’s fastest-growing residential and commercial regions, driven by sustained infrastructure investment, growing employment hubs, and continued demand for high-quality housing. The area has seen consistent price appreciation, with major banks forecasting 3-6% growth in 2025, making it a resilient market for both owner-occupiers and investors.
“Sydney’s North West is evolving into one of the city’s most sought-after areas, offering a balance of lifestyle, connectivity, and long-term investment potential,” said Shane Harding, Head of Property at Landen. “The Honours is a testament to our confidence in this market and our commitment to delivering homes that offer both quality and longevity.”

What Sets The Honours, Norwest Apart?

Norwest: A Key Growth Area for Sydney

Norwest continues to solidify its position as one of Sydney’s most strategically located residential and commercial suburbs. The precinct is undergoing significant expansion, with future plans including high-rise mixed-use developments, expanded retail, and commercial precincts to support the region’s increasing population and workforce.

“We’re seeing Norwest emerge as a major commercial hub, with new infrastructure projects reinforcing its position as one of Sydney’s key employment and lifestyle precincts,” said Mr Harding.

“The Honours is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this growth, offering buyers a unique opportunity to invest in an area with strong fundamentals.”

Construction Timeline and Next Steps

An initial release of 20 homes and land packages were released to the market in April 2025, with first residents expected to move in by mid 2026.

Landen remains committed to keeping purchasers informed throughout the development process. Regular construction updates and key milestones will be shared with buyers, reinforcing transparency and engagement as The Honours takes shape.

As Norwest undergoes significant expansion, opportunities to secure a brand-new standalone home in the area are becoming increasingly rare. The Honours represents one of the last chances to own a premium home in this sought-after and rapidly transforming area.

With North West Sydney’s demand for premium homes remaining strong, The Honours, Norwest offers an opportunity to be part of one of Sydney’s most dynamic and evolving regions.

Landen has secured Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs) for its 2.5-hectare Memorial Drive site at Bella Vista, marking a key milestone on the NSW Government’s Tier 1 Transport-Oriented Development (TOD) Accelerated State Significant Development Application (SSDA) Pathway.

Fast-tracking a landmark precinct

After receiving rezoning approval in November 2024 for their initial plans for 224 apartments, Landen acted swiftly to capitalise on an uplift in Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from 1:1 to 1.9:1. This transformative change effectively doubles the project’s yield, creating the potential for 471  homes in a vibrant and sustainably designed community.

Landen took only three months to turn around a completely reimagined design, ensuring the precinct aligns with the latest planning and sustainability benchmarks.

Shane Harding, Head of Property at Landen, said the milestone demonstrates the government’s recognition of the project’s planning merit and contribution to housing and infrastructure delivery.

“This is a major step forward for Bella Vista and a clear endorsement of the project’s significance. The SEARs process ensures that every element of our proposal – from housing density to transport infrastructure and environmental sustainability – is assessed at the highest level. It is an opportunity to refine and strengthen our vision, ensuring we deliver a well-planned, highly connected, and sustainable precinct.”

What receiving SEARs means for the Bella Vista project

Mr Harding said Landen is committed to meeting and exceeding these requirements to ensure Bella Vista is a benchmark for responsible, high-quality urban development.

“The SEARs process provides a clear roadmap for the next stage of planning, allowing us to demonstrate how this project will enhance connectivity, create vibrant open spaces, and deliver much-needed housing in a way that is both sustainable and community-focused.”

A Well-Planned, Highly Connected Precinct

Located at 40 Memorial Avenue, the 2.5-hectare site is the largest landholding within the Bella Vista Transport-Oriented Development (TOD) precinct. Landen acquired the site in December 2024.

The project is designed to leverage the site’s unique advantages, including:

With an estimated $200 million investment, Bella Vista is positioned to be a leading example of sustainable, transport-oriented development in Sydney’s North West.

Landen will now progress with detailed studies, public consultation, and preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) before lodging its formal SSD application.

In today’s property market, buyers often worry about unexpected delays, price hikes, or cancellations, which have become all too common.
Buyer experiences, such as those shared recently in the news, highlight the frustration they feel when developers change terms after contracts are signed, delay construction indefinitely or fail to deliver on their promises.
At Landen, we understand these concerns, and we want to reassure our buyers—current and future—that their experience with us will be different.

Landen’s commitment

Landen has never cancelled a sale, resold land at higher prices or pushed the burden of rising construction costs onto buyers.
Even as we experienced challenges, including the impacts of COVID-19 and rising costs of materials, we absorbed any additional expenses to protect our buyers from financial stress.
Our priority is ensuring that buyers get exactly what they were promised, at the price they agreed to, without unexpected changes.
If there are unavoidable land registration and settlement delays due to factors beyond our control, we communicate with our buyers promptly, so they aren’t left feeling anxious about their investment.

Transparency and support throughout the buying process

Purchasing unregistered land or an off-the-plan home can feel overwhelming, but the Landen team is here to simplify the process with transparent, honest communication from start to finish. Our contracts comply with the Unfair Contract Terms (UCT) Regime, ensuring our agreements are straightforward and protect buyers from unexpected clauses or penalties.
We provide comprehensive guides and have a dedicated sales team ready to explain contract terms. With our head office located in Norwest, near several of our projects, we’re always happy to meet for face-to-face discussions.
We also strongly recommend that buyers engage their own solicitor to review contracts independently, ensuring they fully understand the terms before moving forward.
Communication is key to our process. We keep buyers informed throughout land registration and construction phases via regular email and video updates, helping them plan with confidence. If there are any delays caused by weather or supply chain issues, we communicate this promptly.

Tailored offerings for your new home

For select land estates, we’ve partnered with some of Sydney’s most dependable and reputable builders—North Homes, Domaine, McDonald Jones and Mojo Homes—to offer curated home-and-land packages that deliver the exceptional quality and steadfast reliability that our future residents can rely on.
In addition, some of our Estates offer spec builds, which allow buyers to pay an initial deposit upfront for both the land and home, with the balance due only upon completion. This provides flexibility for those looking to move in sooner, without the financial burden of ongoing payments during construction.
For our integrated home and land estates, such as Marsden Park and Norwest, we collaborate with premium builder, North Homes to ensure a seamless experience from purchase to completion. Throughout the build process, regular updates are provided to keep buyers informed and reassured via a dedicated client portal.

Our track record and exciting future projects

Landen is proud of the estates we’ve delivered and the projects we’re currently working on.
Our Box Hill Estate 1 is completed, with 95% of homes finished and residents already living in this thriving community. At Rouse Hill, homes are under construction in Stages 1 and 2, and land registration is on the horizon for our Marsden Park and Box Hill Estate 2.
Our Norwest, Oakville, Grantham Farm Claremont Meadows Estates are all currently under construction and progressing well with registration expected in Q1 and Q2 2025.
We have exciting projects in the pipeline, including estates in Wyee, North Kellyville and Kenthurst, as well as further stages in Bringelly and Orchard Hills. In addition, we’re expanding into apartment projects in Bella Vista and Norwest and an industrial site in Cecil Park.
We only bring projects to market when we’re fully prepared to deliver them on time and as promised—ensuring that buyers never experience the disappointments others have faced in the broader market.

The NSW Government’s ambitious Transport-Oriented Development (TOD) initiative has paved the way for a bold expansion of Landen Property Group’s Bella Vista newly-approved residential project.

Originally approved for 224 apartments in late November, the project will now capitalise on an uplift in Floor Space Ratio (FSR) from 1:1 to 1.9:1. This transformative change effectively doubles the project’s yield, creating potential for up to 500 homes in a vibrant and sustainably designed community.

The Bella Vista development is strategically located between both Bella Vista and Kellyville Metro Stations, making it a cornerstone of the TOD vision to deliver high-density, walkable neighbourhoods with exceptional connectivity to transport and employment hubs.

Key Highlights of the Enhanced Proposal:

A Vital Infrastructure Contribution

Beyond delivering new homes, Landen Property Group’s plans include the construction of a key piece of infrastructure for the area: a new bridge and roundabout over Elizabeth Macarthur Creek.

These works, part of the project’s subdivision development phase, will create critical new road and pedestrian connections to Free Settlers Drive, opening up access to future developments and parklands in the precinct.

“The bridge and associated works are a game-changer for this community,” said Shane Harding Head of Property at Landen.

“This vital infrastructure not only supports the success of this development but also delivers long-term benefits for the wider area, facilitating growth and improving accessibility.”

The infrastructure project will be delivered in collaboration with the local Council, reflecting Landen’s commitment to contributing to the broader community through considered and future-focused design.

Fast-Tracked Approvals and Delivery

The TOD initiative’s expedited development pathways mean Landen plans to submit a revised Development Application (DA) very quickly.

A Vision of Vibrant Urban Living

The Bella Vista project showcases the potential of TOD initiatives to reimagine urban living. With its proximity to two Metro stations, extensive green spaces, and community-first design, the development will offer a lifestyle that blends convenience with liveability. Thoughtfully designed communal areas, including podium gardens and creekside walkways, will encourage social interaction and healthy, active living.

“The TOD announcement has unlocked enormous potential,” added Mr Harding, “We’re not just building homes; we’re creating a community where people will want to live, work, and connect. This project embodies the future of sustainable, integrated development.”

Sydney’s a fantastic city, just ask any of the 5 million people who call it home this year. Whether you’re new to Sydney or the country, or a local who wants to buy for the first time, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to purchasing in the Harbour City.

Here is our essential guide to help you navigate the Sydney property market with confidence.

Looking to buy?

Making the decision to buy a home is both exciting and daunting. Recent research suggests that it often takes 16 months from actively looking for a property to purchasing – not including the time it takes to save a deposit.

There are a few factors that you need to consider before starting your journey.

Once you are ready, you can manage your property search more efficiently.

From Bondi to Blacktown, there’s something for everyone

Sydney’s property market is as diverse as its population.

The City has penthouse apartments and homes in the Eastern Suburbs that are valued at more than $210 million, according to this March 2024 realestate.com.au article. You can find more affordable houses without compromising on convenience and lifestyle for under $1,000,000, according to this Canstar 2023 report. Or even consider if apartment living would suit you, as there are many options with a variety of amenities in every suburb across the whole city.

For buyers who are looking for a balance between affordability and lifestyle, Sydney’s Northwest is a suitable option. Suburbs like Box Hill, Claremont Meadows, and Rouse Hill offer modern amenities, green spaces, and relatively affordable housing options – even more affordable if you buy land and then build a home. With excellent transport links, reputable schools, and emerging communities, the Northwest is worth adding to your list.

Where to begin your search?

There are many different ways to find the suburbs that suit you and your dream home.

Online platforms, like www.realestate.com.au, www.domain.com.au, www.onthehouse.com.au, and individual real estate agent websites provide comprehensive listings of available properties, usually with detailed descriptions, photos, and virtual tours. Many sites also offer suburb profiles that highlight the positive, and negative, aspects of the different areas.

You could also consider working with a buyer’s agent, who, for a fee, can get you access to off-market opportunities and help you negotiate with a seller.

If you are interested in new builds, you can look for your perfect block of land and then explore homebuilder’s websites to find a home that suits your block or take a look at developers’ websites to consider off-the-plan opportunities and may have opportunities bundle your purchase of land and a new home.

Keeping up with Sydney’s property news

Keeping across the latest developments and trends in the Sydney property market is essential to making an informed decision and gain valuable insights into market dynamics, upcoming developments, and legislative changes affecting property ownership.

Most local, metro and national newspapers cover property, providing trend insights, market analyses, and expert opinions to help you stay informed.

Take a look at:

As well as property-specific sites, such as:

The Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) is also a good source of information about the property market.

Remember, thorough research, including keeping across the current news, is key to making informed decisions in this ever-changing market.
