Winter 2026 Luxury Property Report Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs
The financial year in review.
Where the records fell.
What it means for you.
The 2025/2026 financial year closed with two markets running side by side. The broader market softened as buyers grew more deliberate. The prestige tier did not follow. Where quality, scale and position aligned, competition held firm, and the country’s most significant sales were once again recorded in Sydney’s East, led by the highest residential sale in Australia, negotiated by Pillinger. This report sets out exactly where value held, suburb by suburb, and why.
“People assume records are set in strong markets. In my experience they are set by rare properties, prepared properly, put in front of the right buyer. This year proved it again.”
Brad Pillinger
WHAT'S INSIDE
- The numbers behind the noise, a clear reading of the June quarter and what is genuinely driving conditions
- Sydney’s top residential sales for the 2025/2026 financial year, led by the $83,500,000 sale of 19 Bayview Hill Road, Rose Bay
- Suburb by suburb statistics across houses and apartments, covering median prices, top sales, annual growth and prestige sales volumes
- Double Bay spotlight, and why the village of the East outperformed across both houses and apartments in a softening market
- The rise of the house-scale apartment, and the penthouse results resetting the ceiling in the East
- The winter ahead, and the two forces that will continue to define outcomes at the top of the market
I have committed my life to refining the art of successfully selling prestigious homes, whilst maintaining the highest level of confidentiality and respect.
