February has set a strong tone for the 2026 Sydney property market, with measurable buyer engagement and competitive auction results delivering premium outcomes for sellers.
Recent campaigns across Pennant Hills, Hornsby and Thornleigh generated thousands of online views, hundreds of inspections and intense multi bidder competition, pushing final sale prices well above expectations.
With Sydney’s median dwelling value now sitting above 1.25 million dollars and properties averaging around 30 to 45 days on market, the fundamentals remain supportive. Buyer activity is returning after the summer period and many purchasers are now actively securing their next home.
As we move toward Autumn, this could present a strategic opportunity for sellers. Listing numbers often soften while motivated buyers remain active, creating the potential for strong competition on well positioned properties.
In this market review we break down the latest campaign results, current buyer behaviour and what sellers should consider if they are planning a move in 2026.
