A little colour, a little courage and a whole lot of personality. This newly built Dulwich Hill home takes a playful approach to contemporary architecture, layering engineered oak, tumbled marble and richly veined quartzite to create interiors that feel warm, expressive and entirely individual.

At the heart of the home, a sculptural 3m Jade Fusion stone island sets the scene for long lunches and lively gatherings. Beyond, a skylit terrace overlooks the landscaped garden and mineral pool, while a vibrant, self-contained two-storey studio offers a colourful retreat of its own.

With Cooks River parklands at the end of the street and Dulwich Hill village within walking distance, this is family living with a refreshing sense of freedom.

Is Sydney's property market cooked for 2026?

Our spring market is changing rapidly, and the contrast with this time last year is remarkable.
But while the headlines are confronting, there's another side to this market that deserves attention.
Matt explores the latest numbers, the standoff between buyers and sellers, and whether waiting until 2027 really changes anything.

Watch The Word and let us know your thoughts.

What makes Orange Grove Markets special isn’t just what you take home, it’s who you connect with while you’re there.

For almost 30 years, the market has brought together local families, growers, producers and stallholders, creating a weekly ritual that feels as much about community as it does about food.

It’s a place to shop, stop, chat and reconnect - and that sense of togetherness is what has kept people coming back week after week.

A wraparound courtyard gives this Petersham home its rhythm - a private green edge that draws daily life outdoors and brings a sense of calm to the interiors.

Designed by HecticrAt Architects, the residence pairs crisp contemporary lines with a highly practical family plan. Stone, bespoke joinery and generous storage bring polish without excess, while the covered rear entertaining area extends the living space into a sheltered setting for long lunches and easy evenings.

Tucked into a quiet cul-de-sac, it’s an unusually composed home just 260m from Petersham Station, with cafés, schools and the Inner West close at hand.

Buyer fatigue. It's real. But what exactly is it?

Every year as we move towards Christmas, the property market experiences a shift in buyer behaviour.

This year, with the economic backdrop, changing property values and relentless headlines, could that shift be arriving earlier than usual?

In this week's The Word, we explore the numbers, the conversations our team are having with buyers and what the next six weeks could mean for Sydney's property market.

Plenty to unpack, and some important considerations for anyone thinking of making a move before 2027.

Thanks for watching.

WTF is buyer fatigue?Every year, as we head towards Christmas, som...

At the rear, the house gives way to greenery.

Polished concrete floors run to a wall of bi-fold doors, opening the living space to a north-east courtyard wrapped in planting, with a built-in Weber barbecue and harbour breezes drifting up from the water. It’s an easy setting for long lunches, late afternoons, and quiet mornings outside.

Inside, the early 1900s terrace balances its original character with a more contemporary rhythm: a skylit Caesarstone kitchen, flexible living spaces, and a king-sized main bedroom with fireplace and ensuite.

Higher rates or lower prices - who is actually better off?

That’s one of the questions we put to the test in this week’s episode of The Word.

First, the mid-spring report card. Sydney’s auction clearance rate has fallen to 26.87%, the weakest result of the year. Sales volumes are down 25%, and more than a quarter of listed homes have now been sitting on the market for over six months.

Buyers are adjusting quickly to these conditions, and sellers need to do the same. But there’s another side to the story. Falling prices are starting to change the equation for buyers.

Last year, buyers were dealing with lower interest rates but higher property prices. Today, rates are higher, but prices are lower.

We run the numbers on a $3 million purchase to see who is actually better off.

Higher rates hurt, but the price you pay matters enormously.

Fur babies are welcome.

NSW’s rental laws make it easier for tenants to keep pets, with landlord consent still required and reasonable conditions allowed.

Wondering what that means for your investment property? Speak with our property management team. We’ll help you understand the rules, without getting tangled in the fine print.

c1905 Federation grandeur at the front, then a due-north contemporary pavilion opening to garden, lawn and sky. Inside, polished Kauri floors, 3.4m ceilings and original fireplaces give the home its sense of history, while a custom Calacatta marble island anchors the kitchen and social heart of the house. Beyond, a covered terrace and north-facing garden create an easy rhythm for long lunches, children at play and evenings that spill outdoors.
