Bronte · Sydney NSW

Price model — what the model says a typical home here achieves at auction

Modelled from 146,492 Australian auction sales (2021–2026). Sydney cells run on the base model (suburb prior + configuration + time) without the Sydney-only land/school/transport features — ranges are honest about the wider uncertainty. Estimates from comparable auction results — not valuations or financial advice.

Buildings in Bronte — full dossiers: every sale, turnover, orders, what units rent for

The 20 most-transacted of 44 Bronte buildings with dossiers — the rest are reachable from these pages and the sitemap. Sales counts and resale records from NSW Valuer General bulk data (CC-BY); lot counts from the NSW Strata Hub register. Each dossier also states what public records cannot tell you.

Houses

Recent sold auction results in Bronte from the price model's training set (published Domain results). A sample, not every sale.

What Bronte actually sold for — published auction results, quarter by quarter

Quarterly medians of real published auction results (sold outcomes only). Historical results — not a prediction, valuation or financial advice.

All settled sales — every recorded sale, not just auctions

Last 12 months: 108 settled sales · median $2,750,000 (middle half $1,546,250–$5,300,000)

Settled-sale records from the NSW Valuer General's Property Sales Information. Dates are contract (exchange) dates; sales appear only once lodged, so the most recent months are incomplete and revise upward — never read the latest month as final.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 33 — below the Sydney average (50 = average) · band low

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2024) — a postcode can span neighbouring suburbs. Rates are per RESIDENT — visitor-heavy precincts read high. Source: NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (CC BY 4.0).

Delivered & approved supply — what got built around here, honestly windowed

264 dwellings approved in Bronte between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (501 applications). Largest: 55dw 107 Macpherson Street Bronte 2024 (2020).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 2,447 (2016) to 2,903 (2021) — +456 delivered in that window, +123 of them apartments — measured completion, independent of any approval record.

Council portal records begin August 2019 — approvals before that date are invisible to the automated count and appear here only where curated from public record (and say so). Approved also precedes completed by 1–3 years. State-assessed projects live in the fast-track section, not these counts.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 609 dwellings across 8 projects — future supply IF approved and built. More homes coming can mean growth in services and momentum, but also more stock competing with a resale.

These proposals go straight to NSW state assessment (Housing Delivery Authority pathway) and never appear in council DA counts. Dwelling numbers are the applicant's EOI figures — assessment can trim them. Distance is suburb-centre to project, ±500m.

Schools — density, catchment and community profile

5 primary schools within 2km · nearest school ~0.43km · 3 selective within 5km · ICSEA 1135

Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Bronte PS · Rose Bay SC — a boundary address can differ; verify yours at NSW School Finder.

ICSEA is the socio-educational advantage of a school's community (My School, national average ~1000) — a demographic measure, not a quality or results score. NSW DoE school locations + intake zones, CC BY 4.0.

Auction market pace — Sydney weekly clearance

Benchmark series (Domain): week to 2026-08-22 — 53.8% of 372 reported auctions. Our own tracking (withdrawn counted): week to 2026-08-22 — 43% of 524 scheduled. Lower clearance generally means more room for buyers to negotiate.

Development pipeline — what's proposed in Bronte, and how far along it is

State-pipeline proposals (pre-DA — the biggest projects start here)

• 122 - 128 Hewlett Street , Bronte — 100 – 120 dwellings, 5% affordable housing, part 4 storey and part 9 storey built form outcome
  Fortis · Proposed — state-pipeline EOI (pre-DA, may change or lapse)

Major applications in the DA channel

Plus 112 smaller applications (renovations, single dwellings, signage) — 58 determined, 7 refused, 31 approved, 2 cancelled, 7 withdrawn, 6 lodged, 1 rejected.

What this view cannot see

• Council DAs from the NSW Planning Portal open feed, matched within ~150 m of addresses we track — a proximity net, not a complete register.
• Verdicts (approved/refused) come from a dataset frozen in Nov 2023: anything determined after that shows “determined” without a published outcome. Check the application on the NSW Planning Portal for the current decision.
• The largest master-planned sites can proceed as State Significant Development or planning proposals and never appear as council DAs. State-pipeline EOIs shown here are proposals, not applications, and can change or lapse.
• No feed we hold ties a construction certificate to a specific application, so no project row here can honestly read “under construction” — “approved” never means “built”. Suburb-level construction-certificate volume appears in the DA-volume section.

Housing and jobs targets — WAVERLEY LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, WAVERLEY has a five-year housing target of 2,400 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 3,500–5,800 additional jobs by 2046.

The housing target is the supply pipeline for the area: the number of new homes the state expects the council to plan capacity for, concentrated around the centres and station areas the Plan nominates. The jobs figure is published as an aspirational range and is not legislated the way housing targets are.
