PropertyEye tracks live listings in Sydney and Brisbane today — open the live board. These pages are built from published auction results (2021–2026), our price model and weekly clearance data.
Price model — what the model says a typical home here achieves at auction
| Configuration | Model estimate | Range | Comparable sales |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bed unit | $935k | $835k–$1.04M | 193 |
| 2-bed unit | $1.45M | $1.29M–$1.6M | 193 |
| 3-bed unit | $2.97M | $2.38M–$3.57M | 193 |

| 5-bed house | $5.51M | $4.1M–$7.04M | 47 |
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.

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

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)
Index 100 — well above the Sydney average (50 = average) · band high
BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2010) — 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).
🚩 Yield vs growth — who pays here, and does it convert?
Rent trap risk — cash flows, capital has sat still. Gross yield 5.3% (bond-median rent $830/wk against a measured unit sale median of $820k) · measured growth +0.4%/yr — against metro medians of 4.1% and 1.7%/yr across 39 tracked suburbs.
Yield is above the metro median but measured growth is below it. Ask WHO pays that rent: if the tenant base structurally can't convert to buyers, the yield never becomes growth.
Observable drivers: UTS 1.8km away — student demand pours into renting, none of it into buying.
Rent trajectory (new-tenancy bond medians, postcode 2010): +5.9%/yr over the last 3 years · +4.5%/yr since 2019 — a level is not a trend; both are shown so neither is implied.
Working: rent = NSW rental bond lodgements, flats, postcode level; growth = like-for-like 2-bed OLS (53 sales) over 16 quarters. Relative labels — "high" means above the metro median in this window, nothing more. Drivers are places and distances, never who lives here.
Delivered & approved supply — what got built around here, honestly windowed
274 dwellings approved in Darlinghurst between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (445 applications).
Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 5,042 (2016) to 6,508 (2021) — +1,466 delivered in that window, +362 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-fiat planning programs — controls moved by state decision (RULE-002)
Low and Mid-Rise Housing reform — Darlinghurst and Paddington town centre (Oxford Street) · controls from 2025-02-28 · source
A state-fiat listing changes what can be BUILT here — planning controls, height, density — by government decision, with no demand-demonstration step. It is a zoning signal, not a price signal: our own backtests found listed and unlisted suburbs moving together, so we don't claim price uplift from a listing. What it reliably means: development capacity changed on the date shown, checkable at the source.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 5,820 dwellings across 59 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
7 primary schools within 2km · nearest school ~0.37km · 4 selective within 5km · ICSEA 1116
Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Crown St PS · Inner Sydney 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.
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.

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.
Planned growth — Sydney LGA
The Sydney Plan, the NSW Government's 20-year framework published 13 August 2026. These are projections for the whole LGA, not a forecast for any individual property.

Housing and jobs targets — SYDNEY LGA
Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, SYDNEY has a five-year housing target of 18,900 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 93,500–143,000 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.

State rezoning pipeline — Sydney LGA
The Sydney Plan lists 4 state significant rezoning sites in this LGA — land the NSW Government is rezoning (or has rezoned) for additional homes and jobs, alongside council-led supply. Dwelling and jobs figures are preliminary estimates provided by proponents or councils.
- Waterloo Estate (South) — ~3,300 dwellings · assessment underway, announced Oct 2025
- Explorer Street, Eveleigh (Homes NSW) — ~400 dwellings · rezoning completed Aug 2025
- Central Precinct — ~950 dwellings, ~2,400 jobs · rezoning completed Aug 2025
- Blackwattle Bay Precinct (inc Fish Market site) — ~1,570 dwellings (all stages) · rezoning completed May 2025
These are LGA-level sites, not a statement about any individual property; the Plan does not publish site boundaries or coordinates in this appendix.
