🏡 Southern Highlands Property Market Update — June 2026

The market is at an interesting point right now.

Median values in the Bowral–Mittagong region sit around $1.16M — below the 2022 peak, which means buyers are back and serious. Five-year growth is still sitting at nearly 30%, so the long-term story remains strong.

Days on market average 77 days across the region — but well-priced homes are beating that. Preparation and pricing are everything.

We're seeing tree-changers from Sydney and Canberra still making the move, record investor interest returning, and the downsizing trend in full swing.

If you own a home in Braemar, Renwick, Aylmerton, Balaclava, Willow Vale or Alpine — now is a smart time to understand what your property is worth.

I offer free, no-pressure appraisals across all six farm suburbs. No obligation. Just honest, data-backed advice.

**📍 Southern Highlands Property Market Update — April 2026**

The Southern Highlands market is showing clear signs of recovery heading into autumn, and right now could be one of the most strategic times to act — whether you're buying or selling.

Bowral's median house price sits at approximately $1.56M, with strong five-year capital growth of nearly 30%. The broader region currently leans toward a buyer's market, with median values sitting around $1.16M — roughly 13% below the 2022 peak — easing entry for buyers priced out of Sydney.

Sales volumes are rising and open home attendance is increasing, with many experts suggesting we're sitting at or near the bottom of the property cycle — when value opportunities are most accessible before price growth returns.

Supply remains tight. Inventory sits at just 1.1 months — a strong indicator of a supply-constrained market that typically supports capital appreciation for well-located established homes. [HTAG](https://www.htag.com.au/nsw/nsw288-wingecarribee-shire-council/bowral-nsw-2576/)

Tree-changers and Sydney professionals continue to drive demand across Braemar, Renwick, Aylmerton and surrounds — and lifestyle properties are moving.

Thinking about what your home is worth right now? I'd love to give you a free, no-obligation appraisal.
