🏙️ Why do people keep paying top dollar for Sydney?

Because love it or leave it — Sydney’s still one of the most desirable cities in the world 🌏💸

Sure, it’s not cheap. But people are voting with their money, and the Northern Beaches? Still thriving in our own unique micro market.

For some, Sydney is the stepping stone — build equity, raise a family, then move regional. For others, it’s the forever dream.

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer in real estate. But one thing’s clear: people value Sydney — and always will.

🏗️ From hole to icon.

The Havana project may have started slow (that basement dig was deep) — but since then? A total masterclass in quality, speed, and vision.

✅ Family-owned developer
✅ Premium finishes, no affordable housing component
✅ Some of DY’s highest rental and sales rates
✅ Built to last — with buyers already lining up

This isn’t just another apartment block — it’s a future landmark in the making.

Only a few 1- & 2-bedders remain. And if you’ve got a site and want this team to build your legacy? Let’s chat.

👷‍♂️💪 Tradies get the job done — and they get the love today!

From changing globes on cherry pickers to building our homes, fixing our mess, and showing up rain or shine — tradies are legends.

So if you see one today…
👉 Hand them a coffee
👉 Give them a smile
👉 Or go all in and hug a tradie 😂

🛠️ “The tradies test the tools — the market tests the properties.”

Quality always wins. Whether it's a Milwaukee drill or a prime piece of Sydney real estate, performance over time says it all.

💡 Sydney = proven.
30, 50 years of growth, resilience, and equity-building. Some who chased cheaper land outside Sydney are now priced outof the city for good.

🏡 2 parts equity. 1 part rent.
Chase growth, not just cash flow.

MEN vs WOMEN IN REAL ESTATE? 🤔🔥
Spoiler: It’s NOT a competition.

I had someone ask me recently, “As a woman, how will you go negotiating against tough men at this level?”

My answer?
Negotiation has no gender.
You either have it… or you don’t. 💯

In real estate, the most powerful model I’ve ever seen is a combined male + female team.
Different strengths.
Different energies.
United at the table = unbeatable. 🤝✨

Some of the most empathetic, intuitive negotiators I’ve met are men.
Some of the fiercest, toughest closers I’ve met are women.
It’s not about gender — it’s about skill, experience, and connection.

Whether it’s a married couple at a listing presentation or a high-stakes negotiation, the blend of perspectives brings out the best result for the client. Every time.

Together > separate.
Always.

PARALYSIS BY ANALYSIS IS EXPENSIVE 💸

12 months of “waiting for the perfect moment”…
= one buyer paying $100,000 more for the same property.

Perfect data doesn’t exist.
Sentiment shifts.
Prices keep climbing.

If it’s the right property, right price, and you can service the loan — do it.
The best time to buy was yesterday.
The next best is today. 🔑

WHY NORTHERN BEACHES PRICES KEEP RISING 📈🔥

Less land. Fewer builds. Developers stepping back.
And the DA numbers prove it 👇

DA LODGEMENTS — THEN VS NOW:
🏗️ 2020–21:
• 213 new dwellings
• 140 secondary dwellings

🏗️ 2024–25:
• 171 new dwellings
• 86 secondary dwellings

That’s a massive drop in supply — and it’s exactly why prices aren’t slowing down.

Developers are cautious, construction costs are up, the maths isn’t “mathing”… and even if they can build a duplex, many won’t.

Meanwhile, off-the-plan is shining ✨
Limited stock. Established suburbs. Strong demand.
(And yes… 6 people in our office have bought off-the-plan themselves 👀)

Less supply = higher prices.
It’s as real as it gets on the Northern Beaches.

🚧 Frenchs Forest = Boomtown.

✅ New Bunnings
✅ New schools & hospital
✅ New zoning + 10,000 new dwellings planned
✅ And yes — more parking than ever thanks to clever planning (shoutout to Meriton for that 👏)

The roads literally lead everywhere. And if you're investing near major infrastructure like this — homes, warehouses, or storage — you're already ahead.

As we like to say: “Close to nowhere, but 10 minutes to everywhere.” 😎
