9/9 Ramsay Street, Collaroy NSW 2097

north-east aspect with dual balconies | modern kitchen and bathroom | under 200m to beach | quiet complex with garage | recent comparable sales support price The unit’s north-easterly orientation and dual balconies are rare in this price band, giving it genuine light and airflow advantages over most Collaroy two-bedroom units. The modern kitchen and new bathroom remove immediate renovation costs, which typically run $60,000–$80,000 for this floorplan, so the buyer is paying for finish rather than future work. Positioned under 200 metres from the beach and opposite reserve, it suits owner-occupiers prioritising lifestyle convenience over square footage, or investors targeting the reliable short-stay market. Recent sales in the same complex at $900,000 and $990,000 confirm the building holds value, though this unit’s upgrades should command a premium within that range. The main risk is the compact internal footprint: one living area and a laundry in the kitchen limit appeal for couples who work from home or need separate zones. The 96-square-metre lot is typical for a unit, but the complex’s high turnover,80 per cent of owners held under three years,suggests limited long-term community stability, which can soften resale demand in a slower market. On the opportunity side, the garage adds rare secure parking for this pocket, and the ceiling fans and cross-flow from balconies reduce cooling reliance. Hold this property as a permanent beachside base or a low-maintenance rental yielding around 3.5 per cent, and expect steady capital growth in line with the suburb’s 28 per cent lift since 2016.
