Quarterly Market Report
North Mosman | Middle Harbour | Beauty Point
Brought to you by your area specialist, Cameron Scott
Quarter 1, 2014
Welcome to my quarterly market report...
From Cameron Scott – Area Specialist
North Mosman | Middle Harbour | Beauty Point
In 2013 Sydney recorded its strongest annual house price growth in a decade, increasing by
15%. The Lower North Shore exceeded the Sydney median with house price medians increasing
21% to $1.5m, and units increasing 18% to $710,000.
2014 is continuing the strong trend, and is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for
apartment and house sales in Mosman. Auction clearance rates are an excellent reflection of
market confidence. Sydney clearance rates are tracking at 70% versus the long term average
of 62%. LJ Hooker Mosman’s clearance rate is currently around 88%.
With interest rates remaining low and buyer confidence at an all-time high, now is a great time
to capitalise on the market and make a move. Following our successful sales in Beauty Point
Rd, Bond St, Bray St, Dalton Rd, Hale Rd and Pearl Bay Ave, we have buyers ready to go. I would
love the opportunity to catch up in person and discuss your property’s potential in this market.
