Willoughby · 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 Willoughby — full dossiers: every sale, turnover, orders, what units rent for

The 20 most-transacted of 35 Willoughby 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 Willoughby from the price model's training set (published Domain results). A sample, not every sale.

What Willoughby 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: 214 settled sales · median $2,200,000 (middle half $1,396,250–$4,509,500)

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

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

519 dwellings approved in Willoughby between 2019-08-30 and 2023-04-29 (268 applications). Largest: 164dw 452 Willoughby Road Willoughby 2068 (2022) · 164dw 452 Willoughby Road Willoughby 2068 (2022).

Census check: occupied dwellings grew from 2,239 (2016) to 2,688 (2021) — +449 delivered in that window, +214 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: 1,899 dwellings across 12 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

4 primary schools within 2km · nearest school ~0.34km · 4 selective within 5km · ICSEA 1154

Catchment (suburb-centre approximation): Willoughby PS · Chatswood 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.

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

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

• 2- 6 Warners Avenue & 88 – 96 Eastern Valley Way, Willoughby — Erection of a four to eleven storey residential flat building with 136 dwellings including a communal open space, public domain improvements and 7% of GFA dedicated to affordable housing in perpetuity.
  Paro Consulting (Paro Planning Pty Ltd) · Proposed — state-pipeline EOI (pre-DA, may change or lapse)

Major applications in the DA channel

Plus 85 smaller applications (renovations, single dwellings, signage) — 2 refused, 2 cancelled, 36 determined, 28 approved, 10 withdrawn, 7 lodged.

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 — WILLOUGHBY LGA

Under the NSW Government's 20-year Sydney plan, WILLOUGHBY has a five-year housing target of 3,400 new homes (2024–2029) and a jobs target of 10,800–22,400 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 — Willoughby 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.

• Chatswood Dive Site (Landcom – consolidated site) — ~1,500 dwellings · assessment underway, announced Oct 2025
• Crows Nest TOD Accelerated Precinct (Lane Cove, North Sydney, Willougby) — ~5,900 dwellings, ~2,500 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.
