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.

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. Residential sales of all methods — private treaty and auction. © State of New South Wales (Valuation NSW).
Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)
Index 87 — well above the Sydney average (50 = average) · band high
BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2042) — 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?
Below metro on both sides. Gross yield 3.8% (bond-median rent $680/wk against a measured unit sale median of $921k) · measured growth -3.1%/yr — against metro medians of 4.1% and 1.7%/yr across 39 tracked suburbs.
Yield and measured growth both under the metro median in this window. Not a verdict on the future — but the recent numbers earn no story either way.
Observable drivers: University of Sydney 1.2km away — student demand pours into renting, none of it into buying.
Rent trajectory (new-tenancy bond medians, postcode 2042): +7.3%/yr over the last 3 years · +5.1%/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 1-bed OLS (51 sales) over 15 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
425 dwellings approved in Newtown between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (641 applications).
Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 6,100 (2016) to 7,372 (2021) — +1,272 delivered in that window, +229 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 — Newtown station and town centre (King Street & Enmore Road) · 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.
Institutional moves — arrivals & departures, 12-month DA window
When an organisation with real money commits to a location — or abandons one — they've done homework you can't see. The market moves around that decision; the building is the visible end of it.

Erection of a new structure · Early Education and Care Facility · Centre-based child care · Determined · determined 2026-04-01 · PAN-617522
A DA is intent, not an opening — and a demolition DA is not always a closure (rebuilds happen). Classification is over the Planning Portal's own structured development types; every record above is checkable by its PAN number. Departures are deliberately listed first: almost nobody watches them. Supermarket-class moves live in the anchor-tenant section, not here. Development application data © NSW Department of Planning and Environment, used under CC BY 4.0.

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

Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Newtown PS · Newtown HS of Performing Arts — 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.

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 — Inner West 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. Roughly 61% of tracked addresses in Newtown fall in this LGA — the rest sit across a boundary.

Housing and jobs targets — INNER WEST LGA
Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, INNER WEST has a five-year housing target of 7,800 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 15,000–21,600 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 — Inner West LGA
The Sydney Plan lists 3 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.
- Parramatta Road (Leichhardt/Camperdown) — ~8,000 dwellings · assessment underway, announced Sept 2025
- Bays West Precinct — ~8,500 dwellings · assessment underway, announced Nov 2024
- WestConnex Dive Site, Annandale (Landcom) — ~580 dwellings, ~50 jobs · rezoning completed Dec 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.
