Stanmore continues to attract buyers drawn to its Inner West location: reliable train and bus links to the CBD, established schools, and a leafy cafe strip keep demand resilient from both families and professionals. With limited new stock, heritage controls and low vacancy, buyers see opportunity in sympathetic renovations and infill additions, though affordability pressure and competition in auction rooms are the main risks to timing. Prices have edged higher over the past six months, with houses up on a steady clip and units showing a slightly stronger lift as rental interest gains momentum.
