Strathfield · Sydney NSW

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

Modelled from 169,861 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 Strathfield — full dossiers: every sale, turnover, orders, what units rent for

The 20 most-transacted of 104 Strathfield 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.

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

What Strathfield 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: 346 settled sales · median $873,500 (middle half $700,000–$3,290,000)

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.

What Strathfield homes rent for — real bonds lodged, postcode 2135

2019Q1 → 2026Q2: $570 → $745/wk median new-tenancy rent in 2135, all dwellings pooled · +2% over the last 12 months (latest four quarters averaged against the previous four).

Every figure is from NSW Fair Trading rental bond lodgements (CC BY) — rents tenants actually signed at, not advertised asks. Postcode is the finest geography the source publishes, and a postcode may span more than one suburb. Middle half = 25th–75th percentile. New-tenancy rents run hotter than sitting rents. Not financial advice.

Crime — recorded key offences (BOCSAR)

Index 51 — around the Sydney average (50 = average) · band average

BOCSAR recorded key offences per resident at POSTCODE level (2135) — 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 4.3% (bond-median rent $745/wk against a measured unit sale median of $904k) · measured growth +1.2%/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.

Rent trajectory (new-tenancy bond medians, postcode 2135): +2.5%/yr over the last 3 years · +3.4%/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 (61 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

1,414 dwellings approved in Strathfield between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (842 applications). Largest: 172dw 13 Albert Road Strathfield 2135 (2021) · 116dw 26a Parnell Street Strathfield 2135 (2022).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 8,036 (2016) to 9,522 (2021) — +1,486 delivered in that window, +441 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.

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.

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.

Known pipeline within 2.5km: 2,035 dwellings across 15 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.

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 — STRATHFIELD LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, STRATHFIELD has a five-year housing target of 3,500 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 1,400–3,200 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 — Strathfield LGA

The Sydney Plan lists 2 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.

• Sydney Markets — ~1,500 dwellings · assessment underway, announced May 2025
• Homebush TOD Accelerated Precinct (Canada Bay and Strathfield) — ~18,000 dwellings, ~3,000 jobs · rezoning completed Nov 2024

These are LGA-level sites, not a statement about any individual property; the Plan does not publish site boundaries or coordinates in this appendix.
