5/14-16 Sherwood Road, Merrylands West NSW 2160

Merrylands West is benefitting from fresh first-home buyer activity, proximity to Parramatta and Sydney CBD, plus the Western Sydney Council push to deliver 28,000 homes, keeping demand for houses strong even as unit interest softens. House values are still up double digits year-on-year and have held firm over the past six months, reflecting tight stock levels and consistent rental demand, while units are tracking flatter and take longer to sell. Risks include interest-rate sensitivity for entry-level buyers and any oversupply from new developments, but growth opportunities stem from improving infrastructure, enduring affordability relative to inner west pockets, and solid rental yields that attract investors.
