The Sydney Property Market is coming off a boom year as we commence 2022. In fact, the market has risen 3 years in a row now, in 2019, 2020 and 2021. This is quite a remarkable feat when you consider the challenges posed firstly by the bushfires and then COVID.

A multitude of challenges awaits the market in 2022 yet buyer sentiment remains high and interest rates are low.

Australia’s best property analyst Louis Christopher recently joined us to break down the elements that will determine the Sydney market between now and Christmas. 

As we enter the second half of 2021, many are wondering if the Sydney property market can continue to rise at the same frenetic pace.

• the differential in performance between suburban apartments & those in the CBD
• what the re-emergence of investors into the property market means and
