Homebush demand is governed by its inner-west location, excellent rail and motorway links, and demographics that keep owner-occupiers, families and renters competing for a premium slice of the market. Buyers are drawn to the convenience to the CBD, good schools and parks, plus the fresh medium-density communities near transport hubs that keep the suburb relevant even though new approvals could add extra competition. Price momentum has stayed positive – supply is barely over one month so the past six months have seen values hold firm after a 26% lift for houses over the last year, even as yields stay low and affordability remains stretched.
