One in 10 Sydney homes for sale in February were discounts

 One in 10 homes for sale in February were offering discounts, a share that is only likely to grow as long as sellers expect 2021 prices despite the market slowing since.

New Domain data shows the average proportion of listings where sellers discounted the price in Sydney jumped from 5.9 per cent in July, during the city’s second major lockdown, to 10.5 per cent in February once the property market was back in full swing.

  The average home across Australia has reached $1 million, according to new data released today. According to the latest figures by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the value of Australia’s residential properties rose by $130.7 billion to $11.4 trillion in the March quarter 2025.
