Q4 2025 — LOOKING BACK | LOOKING AHEAD

From the team at O’BRIEN Real Estate Agency

Dear Neighbour,

As we reflect on the final quarter of 2025, the Greater Blacktown and Prospect property markets have delivered significant results and meaningful insights for homeowners and investors alike. Whether you’ve been watching values rise, or your inbox fill with buyer enquiries, this has been a year to pay attention to.

📈 MARKET HIGHLIGHTS — WHAT 2025 TAUGHT US

Strong House Price Growth Continues — In Blacktown, house values remained solid through 2025.

• The median house price has tracked around $1,100,000 over the year, an uplift of roughly 7% annual growth. (Real Estate Australia)
• Houses in prime family pockets continued to attract competition, with median days on market holding at around 35–40 days. (Real Estate Australia)

Unit Market — A Tale of Two Segments — While houses pushed higher, unit values moved more cautiously.

• Median unit prices sat near $505,000, showing modest decline or minimal growth for some configurations. (Real Estate Australia)
• Quarter-on-quarter performance varied, with neighbouring suburbs like Lalor Park achieving notable unit growth in late 2025. (Real Estate Australia)

Sales Activity & Buyer Behaviour — Across 2025:

• Hundreds of homes changed hands, with strong demand for family houses and still steady enquiries for well-priced unit opportunities. (Real Estate Australia)
• Rental markets saw growth, too, as typical weekly rents for houses and units climbed, underlining broader population demand. (OpenAgent)

Emerging Trends:

✔ Buyers favour detached homes and family-friendly areas

✔ First-home buyers remain active, especially in entry-level markets

✔ Properties with presentation and strong marketing continue to command faster sales

📉 THE MARKET CHALLENGES OF 2025

Unit Value Pressure: Unlike houses, some unit segments faced stagnation or slight value contraction, reflecting supply pressures and buyer prioritisation of land-rich homes. (Real Estate Australia)

Broader Sydney Signals: While Sydney’s overall home price growth remains positive, forecasts suggest a cooling trend heading into 2026, with more modest gains expected compared with 2025 peaks. (Real Estate Australia)

🔮 WHAT 2026 MEANS FOR YOU

Infrastructure & Growth Drivers — Western Sydney’s long-term prospects remain compelling, with major drivers such as the Western Sydney Airport and broader transport improvements. These will continue to underpin buyer interest and values over time. (Real Estate Australia)

Market Forecast

Domain’s 2026 outlook predicts record price levels across most capital cities, reflecting continued demand and limited supply even as price growth moderates. (Domain)

For Blacktown & Prospect:

✔ 2026 is likely to favour well-presented homes and properties marketed with clarity

✔ Strategic pricing and timing will be vital to capture the best buyer demand

Whether you’re downsizing, upsizing, or planning an investment move, 2026 could be the right moment to act, not just watch.
