The Hawkesbury area boasts approximately 30,000 homes, with about 425 houses listed for sale at the moment. The average sale price sits around $1,235,000, reflecting a steady market driven largely by two key attractions - our beautiful rural lifestyle just on the outskirts of the Sydney Basin, and the region’s relatively affordable housing compared to greater western Sydney.
Despite a limited supply—less than 20% of the properties on the market are priced under $1 million yet almost 50% of homes sold in 2025 fall within this relatively affordable bracket. This strong demand has underpinned a steady increase in values for entry-level homes, making it an excellent time for first-home buyers and investors alike to consider the Hawkesbury an attractive option.
On the other hand, acreage and lifestyle properties have seen a dip in value, currently trading 10 to 15% below their peak in July 2022. However, recent shifts in market sentiment are promising. Successive interest rate cuts, coupled with Hawkesbury Council voting heavily in favour of “detached” dual occupancies on rural land, are boosting confidence in lifestyle property investment.
Looking ahead, major infrastructure projects like two proposed new river crossings and ongoing development plans position Hawkesbury as a significant growth corridor. These improvements will enhance connectivity and accessibility, further driving demand and value in our region.
For those considering purchasing lifestyle properties, now represents an opportune moment to buy before growth aligns with that of residential homes. If you have questions or need expert advice about buying or selling in Hawkesbury, please don’t hesitate to reach out—I’m only a phone call away.
