SQM Research's Louis Christopher offers an insightful breakdown on the State of the Market in Sydney for 2025. We unpack why Sydney’s 2025 property market rose overall yet lost steam late in the year. 

• three rate cuts then a CPI shock reframing expectations
• supply targets missing by a wide margin
• electricity prices driving inflation and sentiment
• APRA’s soft investor caps in hotter non‑Sydney markets
• migration outpacing new dwellings and lifting rents
• vacancies near 1% and rental affordability strain
• data integrity issues with auction benchmarks
• underquoting eroding trust and fair competition
• first‑home buyer schemes and high‑LVR risk
• late‑year weakness in mid and top‑end Sydney
• unemployment risk and the spectre of stagflation
