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.

Settled-sale records from the NSW Valuer General's Property Sales Information.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 15 — below the Sydney average (50 = average) · band low

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

185 dwellings approved in Fairlight between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (254 applications). Largest: 75dw 195 Sydney Road Fairlight 2094 (2021).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 2,304 (2016) to 2,623 (2021) — +319 delivered in that window, +69 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.

State-assessed housing nearby — the fast-track pipeline within 2.5km, refused declarations included

340 dwellings · 14 Koorala Street, Manly Vale · 1.2km away · Time & Place
Declared State Significant — on the fast-track · HDA record, 2026-06-22

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 340 dwellings across 1 project — future supply IF approved and built. More homes coming can mean growth in services and momentum, but also more stock competing with a resale.

Supply concentration: one applicant (Time & Place) is behind the entire known nearby pipeline (340 dwellings). Concentrated supply cuts both ways: delivery is likelier, but future sales and rentals compete with the same pipeline's next release — a cap the growth numbers won't show. Applicants can be planning consultants acting for a developer.

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

4 primary schools within 2km · nearest school ~0.53km · 1 selective within 5km · ICSEA 1131

Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Manly WPS · The Forest HS — 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.

Housing and jobs targets — NORTHERN BEACHES LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, NORTHERN BEACHES has a five-year housing target of 5,900 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 12,500–30,500 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.
