The main markets we service; Botany, Beaconsfield, Alexandria, Mascot, Zetland, Pagewood, Rosebery, Eastlakes & Waterloo have all experienced an increase in the number of listings.

Our view is that stock will continue to rise in our area this year. BIS Shrapnel have released their Inner Sydney Apartments Market brief for July 2015, highlighting a number of key findings including:

Within the ISA area precincts, during the three years to 2017/18, the South Dowling precinct will be the main source of new apartments, accounting for 49% of total new apartment supply, followed by the North Sydney precinct with a 23% share.
