The Northern Beaches property market is charging into 2025 with serious momentum. Demand is high, premium homes are moving fast, and fresh opportunities are opening up for buyers, sellers, and investors. This month, we’re unpacking the latest market trends, breaking down why smart marketing is the key to maximising your sale, and celebrating Collaroy’s top-performing agent, David Bain.
But what’s really turning heads? A new era of luxury living is on the horizon. With Dommar and Casa Delmar set to shake up the local landscape, these projects are more than just developments—they’re setting the stage for the future of the Northern Beaches. Whether you’re looking to buy in, invest smart, or just see what’s next, now is the time to get ahead of the game.
Market Recap: February in Review & Future Outlook
February was a big month for the Northern Beaches property market, with strong activity across both sales and rentals. Upstate saw 5063 digital inquiries, 1375 inspections, and 27 properties sold, showing that demand for quality homes remains high. And with 50 new listings hitting the market in March, buyers have plenty to look forward to.
On the leasing front, 1113 digital inquiries and 661 inspections kept the rental market moving, with 44 properties leased—19 of those after just one inspection. This reinforces what we already know: the Northern Beaches rental market is competitive, and well-located properties are leasing fast.
What This Means for Local Buyers & Investors
The NSW Government’s Low and Mid-Rise Housing Policy is shaping the future of our local market. More housing near key hubs like Dee Why and Manly could mean increased competition and greater investment potential. With Dee Why prices up 21.2% and North Curl Curl soaring by 29.7%, demand in key suburbs remains strong.
For investors, the low vacancy rates and continued rental demand make this a prime time to secure high-performing assets. For buyers, new listings and upcoming developments mean more choices in a thriving, high-growth market.
Upstate is at the heart of these changes, helping clients navigate the evolving landscape. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell, or invest, now is the time to make your move. Let’s chat about your next opportunity.
Casa Delmar: An Exclusive Evening of Luxury
A night of champagne, canapés, and live music set the stage for the highly anticipated launch of Casa Delmar’s Penthouse Collection—where coastal elegance meets world-class design.
Alongside this limited collection of luxury penthouses, a new release of upper-level apartments is now available, offering a rare opportunity to secure a statement residence in one of the Northern Beaches’ most exclusive addresses. Refined stonework, soft coastal forms, and elegant panelling define these homes, each crafted with a premium palette of finishes to elevate modern beachfront living.

Maximising Your Sale: Why Investing in Marketing is Worth Every Dollar
When selling your home, the goal isn’t just to find a buyer—it’s to attract the right buyer willing to pay top dollar. That’s where strategic, high-quality marketing comes in. At Upstate, we know that a well-marketed property doesn’t just sell faster; it sells for more.
Why Professional Marketing Matters
High-Quality Imagery & Property Staging
First impressions count. Buyers form opinions within seconds, and professional photography, video tours, and expert staging can make your home irresistible. A beautifully styled and well-lit property draws more interest, more inspections, and stronger offers.
Print Advertising & Signage
While digital marketing is powerful, premium brochures, signboards, and local print advertising still play a key role in capturing buyer attention. Whether it’s a high-impact street sign or a feature in a local publication, we ensure your property gets the exposure it deserves.
The Digital Advantage: Reaching the Right Buyers, Faster
Advertising your property through Upstate’s digital marketing channels offers a fresh, results-driven alternative to platforms like Domain and REA. Our targeted approach ensures your property isn’t just listed—it’s strategically placed in front of buyers actively searching for homes like yours.
By leveraging our extensive Northern Beaches database, we build a custom audience tailored to match your ideal buyer, maximizing exposure and giving your property the best opportunity to achieve a premium result. Our team of marketing experts ensures your property gets the attention it deserves and achieves the best outcome.
Are Marketing Costs Worth It? Absolutely.
A strategic marketing plan isn’t an expense—it’s an investment in your sale price. Properties with professional marketing attract more buyers, create stronger competition, and achieve higher final sale prices.
With Upstate’s advanced buyer match technology, we tailor our strategy to your home and its ideal buyers, ensuring no opportunity is missed.
