9 of the most tightly held Sydney suburbs
A look at the listings data of popular Sydney suburbs shows a serious lack of available listings for would-be buyers across a number of the city’s regions.
SuburbTrends has crunched the data on the Australian — and Sydney — suburbs struggling to see any sales activity due to a lack of properties on the market.
Looking at the average number of homes that have been placed on the market over the past three months in suburbs that do have more than 1,500 dwellings that are occupied, the analysis takes into account the most recent census data (from 2021) to calculate the number of dwellings, which is then averaged out using the stock-on-market figures.
This indicates which suburbs are most tightly held — and the ones where owners aren’t looking to up and sell.
