Where to Find ‘Hidden Gems’ In Sydney
Do you want to beat other buyers in the frenzied Sydney property market and find the home of your dreams?
Change your location. Avoid the hassle, and save time and money by shifting your search to an area of lesser activity.
If you choose to settle in an up-and-coming location such as Petersham, Bexley, or Padstow Heights, your home will improve in value faster than if you buy in an established neighbourhood.
There are three rules you need to keep in mind when searching for hidden property gems in Sydney:
Avoid Popular Areas
The prestige of a location will likely see buyers fork out more for a standard house.
Data collected by Westpac shows the most popular Sydney suburbs where hidden gems are cheaper to buy than in the more popular neighbouring suburbs.
Suppose you want to buy a house in Baulkham Hills, the third most popular suburb in Sydney. You should consider travelling 8kms further to Seven Hills, where the community offers similar amenities, yet the average home price is 34.1% cheaper.
Identify Your Ideal Neighbourhood
Every suburb or neighbourhood will offer similar amenities, lifestyle and properties.
Have a checklist of the relevant factors that would make you put down roots and raise a family in a particular area. The main features to consider include:
Check Next Door
You don’t have to choose between a neighbourhood close to the city and one on its outskirts. Two communities can be located side by side and still have a huge difference in house prices.
