Roseville is poised for a wave of new apartment development following the NSW Government's rezoning of land around Roseville Station under its Transport Oriented Development program.

The new planning controls have unlocked significant development potential within walking distance of the station, with a number of sites expected to be amalgamated and redeveloped in the coming years as developers seek to take advantage of the increased density allowances.

One of the more restrained developments in the precinct, and set among the first to be delivered having commenced well before the recent changes, is Hyecorp's Juliet. The boutique apartment project is already well under construction and remains on track to welcome residents by the end of the year, offering a markedly different proposition to many of the larger-scale developments now likely to emerge across the suburb.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278194]

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/juliet-roseville-64-pacific-highway-roseville-nsw-2069">Juliet</a> will comprise just&nbsp;34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments opposite Roseville Station. For Hyecorp, which has delivered projects across Sydney's Lower North Shore for more than three decades, Roseville presented a rare opportunity to address a growing gap in the market.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/roseville-nsw-2069">Roseville</a> has long been one of the North Shore's most tightly held and desirable suburbs, offering a unique combination of village charm, established greenery, excellent transport connections, and proximity to some of Sydney's best schools and lifestyle amenities," Hyecorp said.

"We recognised a growing demand from local homeowners seeking to downsize without leaving the community they have built their lives around. The location presented a rare opportunity to create homes that cater specifically to that buyer profile."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278196]

The six-level development has been designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a> as a collection of residences that feel more like homes than apartments. The brief centred generous floorplans, abundant natural light, quality finishes, and strong connections to outdoor space.

PBD Architects drew inspiration from Roseville's established garden suburb character, creating a building that sits comfortably within its surroundings rather than dominating them. The architecture incorporates natural materials, soft forms, layered landscaping, expansive balconies, and generous setbacks to strengthen the connection between residents and the suburb's leafy environment.

"The focus was on designing spacious, house-like residences for discerning owner-occupiers and downsizers who wanted to remain on the North Shore without compromising on comfort, privacy, or design," PBD said.&nbsp;

"Every apartment was to feel considered, timeless, and highly functional."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278195]

Inside, residences feature engineered timber flooring, stone kitchen benchtops and splashbacks, integrated Fisher &amp; Paykel appliances, ducted air conditioning, and large outdoor entertaining areas designed to take advantage of district and treetop views.

Residents will also have access to a rooftop barbecue and lounge area, alongside practical amenities including parcel lockers, EV charging capability, bicycle storage, a dog wash bay, and a basement car wash facility.

The majority of purchasers so far have been local owner-occupiers from Roseville, Lindfield, Chatswood, Killara, and the broader Upper North Shore, many of whom are transitioning from larger family homes.

"Buyers are looking for spacious, house-like apartments that allow them to downsize without feeling like they are sacrificing comfort or functionality," Hyecorp noted.

"They value large kitchens, generous living areas, ample storage, quality finishes, secure parking, lift access, and low-maintenance living."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=7395 project_image_fid=278204]

Juliet sits directly opposite Roseville Train Station and within walking distance of Roseville Village, while Chatswood's retail and dining precinct is only minutes away. The development is also surrounded by some of Sydney's most established schools, including Roseville College, Ravenswood, Pymble Ladies' College, and Knox Grammar, as well as nearby parklands and golf courses.

Juliet is currently more than 75 per cent sold ahead of its anticipated completion in late 2026.

Sherpa Property Group has unveiled the third instalment of its Flourish series, securing full approval for the two-tower, $500 million Flourish Soleira development in Palm Beach.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/flourish-soleira-1150-1154-gold-coast-highway-palm-beach-qld-4221">Flourish Soleira</a> will rise from a prominent site in the commercial heart of Palm Beach, the long-time home of Cash Converters and a range of local retailers.

The project will introduce a new retail and dining precinct at ground level, beneath 286 apartments.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370959]

“We’re very committed to not only providing affordable residential offerings that are much needed in Palm Beach, but also delivering a vibrant new commercial heart that complements the extraordinary growth of the southern Gold Coast,” Sherpa Property Group founder Christie Leet said.

The development will sit under Sherpa's Flourish brand, which is aimed at providing a pathway into the beachside suburb for locals, first-home buyers and downsizers. In a move designed to assist first-home buyers entering the market, Sherpa has reserved all one and two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartments exclusively for eligible first-home buyers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=370964]

“Our vision through Flourish is to create a vibrant retail and lifestyle focal point within the Palm Beach centre zone, delivering thriving communities underpinned by lifestyle-rich locations,” Leet said.

“So far, Flourish has been an incredible success, and we hope to carry this momentum as we progress the next two Flourish projects in Palm Beach.”

[smartcode_project:default project_id=150017 project_image_fid=371430]

Located across 1150-1164 Gold Coast Highway and 3 Sixth Avenue, the development will comprise two towers. The northern tower will deliver 154 apartments, while the southern tower will add a further 132 residences, helping address ongoing demand for new apartments in the tightly held coastal suburb.

Flourish Soleira will also feature the most extensive rooftop amenity offering ever delivered in Palm Beach.

The two towers will be connected by a skybridge, with residents gaining access to a rooftop recreation deck featuring a full-width swimming pool, hot and cold plunge pools, wellness spaces, a gymnasium, private dining facilities, massage treatment rooms, barbecue areas, a basketball court, golf simulator, indoor and outdoor dining spaces, sun lounges and extensive landscaping.

LPS Group is expected to start construction later this year.

Sherpa is already well advanced on construction of its debut Flourish project, Flourish Amargo, located just around the corner from Soleira. Meanwhile, Flourish Oasis, positioned opposite Amargo, recently commenced construction and has nearly sold out its collection of 47 apartments.

Are mortgage holders set to get a reprieve from the RBA in 2026?

Big Four bank NAB believes so. They are now expecting the next move from the RBA to be a cut, rather than a hike, which they had pencilled in for August. They are unsure of the timing of the cut however, they note in their latest&nbsp;NAB Economics RBA Watch.

NAB Chief Economist, Dr Sally Auld, said recent data suggests the economy has lost momentum and the outlook for rates has shifted, noting that the broader economic backdrop has changed since earlier in the year.

“The next move in the cash rate is likely to be down, but the timing is uncertain," Dr Auld said.

"In February, growth was above trend, the economy was operating above capacity and there was uncertainty over the restrictiveness of rates. None of these conditions exist today,” she outlined.

Dr Auld said recent data pointed to softer momentum across the economy while acknowledging that at the same time, uncertainty remains a key feature of the outlook.

“Both Q1 GDP data and the NAB business survey suggest momentum in the economy has slowed, meaning that growth has likely peaked for the cycle. That said, we are cognisant there is still considerable uncertainty around the outlook, both with respect to activity and inflation.”

Dr Auld said inflation risks and labour market outcomes would be important to watch.

“On the prices side, we are still forecasting above target core inflation through to mid-2027. Margins will compress and weaker labour market outcomes are a risk.”

She said tighter financial conditions are expected to weigh on housing and activity.

“Tighter financial conditions will be reflected in a slowing in house price growth and housing credit growth. In summary, we have greater conviction that the next move in rates is down, but less conviction on the timing.”

Mortgage relief? NAB forecasts RBA rate cut, not hike, after softer economic conditions

A local downsizer has splashed $6.5 million on a penthouse in Perifa's Alex &amp; Willow development in Crows Nest. 
&nbsp; 
The purchaser sold their long-held family home in the area before embarking on a six-month search for the right apartment. After inspecting a range of options across the Lower North Shore, the buyer returned to <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/alex-willow-crows-nest-82-90-alexander-street-crows-nest-nsw-2065">Alex &amp; Willow</a>. 
&nbsp; 
The buyer profile reflects the project’s broader purchaser mix. <a>Alex &amp; Willow</a> has attracted predominantly local downsizers looking to transition from larger homes without compromising on space or quality, alongside a smaller cohort of upsizers and investors drawn to the project’s location and design credentials. 
&nbsp; 
The milestone sale comes as the project, developed by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">Perifa</a>&nbsp;and delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/versatile-made-construction">Versatile Construction</a>, both part of Versatile Group, reaches 60 per cent sold.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=6680 project_image_fid=371325] 
&nbsp; 
Eddie Mansour, Managing Partner of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/project-marketer/ray-white-projects">Ray White Projects</a>, said the result demonstrates not only a headline price but also depth of demand. 
&nbsp; 
“This is an exceptional outcome and a clear reflection of sustained buyer demand for premium, well-located downsizer product,” Mansour said.

“We’re seeing a consistent pattern of local homeowners selling family residences and reinvesting into high-quality apartments that allow them to remain within their community. Alex &amp; Willow has resonated strongly with this group because it offers genuine scale, thoughtful design and immediate proximity to the village.” 
&nbsp; 
The sale reflects a broader and consistent trend of local downsizers actively seeking high-quality, low-maintenance residences close to established village centres. Agents report that demand for this product type has remained resilient, particularly where developments offer a rare combination of scale, design quality and walkable amenity. 
&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Fabrizio Perilli, Managing Director of Perifa and Versatile Group, said the sale marks a defining moment for the project. 
&nbsp; 
“The penthouse sale is a strong endorsement of the quality we have delivered, alongside our partners, and the clear demand from local downsizers for premium, boutique residences in this location,” Perilli said.&nbsp; 
&nbsp; 
“Most importantly, we’re proud to see the Alex &amp; Willow community beginning to take shape. As we move closer to completion, we’re looking forward to welcoming residents and seeing the project come to life.”&nbsp;

Fresh from launching the first stage of its Wollongong precinct, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/keira-place-wollongong-120-122-smith-street-wollongong-nsw-2500">Keira Place</a>, builder-developer Urban Property Group has unveiled plans for the next phase of the masterplanned community.

Now on public exhibition through the NSW Government's Housing Delivery Authority pathway is a State Significant Development Application for a further 657 homes on the prominent gateway site opposite Beaton Park.

The proposal comprises three buildings, including two build-to-sell towers rising 25 and 30 storeys, delivering 391 apartments, alongside a 12-storey co-living building with 266 residences, making it one of the largest co-living proposals currently planned in regional New South Wales.

Of the apartments proposed in the build-to-sell towers, the majority, 310, are two-bedroom dwellings. The balance comprises 44 one-bedroom apartments and 37 three-bedroom residences. Apartment sizes range from around 50 sqm for one-bedroom homes to approximately 90 sqm for three-bedroom apartments.

<img alt="Smith St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="19347059-1612-41a0-9c74-b86a657237f8" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%2010.02.18%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=sWXnaCcA.cIC6N8YT1dg5pJ2e1V3Z6z7" />

The submission says the proposal has evolved significantly from its original Housing Delivery Authority application following extensive consultation with the State Design Review Panel and Wollongong City Council.

The final scheme has been designed to align with the emerging vision for the Flinders Street Precinct, an area identified by Council as a future high-density mixed-use neighbourhood capable of accommodating substantial housing growth close to transport, employment and community infrastructure.

According to the design report prepared by COX Architecture, the development aims to "deliver a built outcome consistent with the future character of the Wollongong CBD while responding to the site's unique constraints and opportunities."

"Our vision for the next phase of the site evolution in Wollongong is grounded in three design pillars that guide the design response: place, natural environment and celebration," COX said.

"Inspired by its surroundings and grounded in the stories of place on Wodi Wodi Country, the design proposal acknowledges the established character of its setting while creating a unique and timeless identity that sits harmoniously within it.

"The design proposal responds to its specific site conditions, acknowledging the vegetation, climate, wind conditions and solar access of the site."

The architecture responds directly to the site's position between Wollongong's urban core and its natural landscape setting.

COX identified views towards Mount Keira and the Illawarra Escarpment as defining features of the site, while the upper levels of the towers will also capture expansive views across the city and out to the Pacific Ocean.

The design team has positioned the tallest buildings closer to the rail corridor, where overshadowing impacts can be better managed while establishing a landmark built form on the northern approach into the city.

<img alt="Smith St" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="79580d5b-500c-4ebf-9629-797146a4a694" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Screenshot%202026-06-10%20at%209.51.59%E2%80%AFAM.png?VersionId=WbTB1EKSG.KDfsfz0F3wp1QVa2oCMGR5" />

Urban Property Group secured the 11,000 sqm Smith Street site in 2022 and has since progressed plans for the broader Keira Place precinct.

Construction recently commenced on the first stage of Keira Place, which will deliver 150 apartments across two residential buildings, including 27 affordable housing apartments and 18 specialist disability accommodation dwellings, alongside activated ground-floor retail and commercial space.

Urban Co-CEO Patrick Elias said the commencement of construction marked a significant milestone for Wollongong and reflected the developer's long-term commitment to regional cities.

"Today's groundbreaking is about turning approvals into homes and moving quickly to deliver much-needed housing in Wollongong's city centre," Elias said.

"Keira Place will provide a diverse mix of homes close to jobs, transport and services, while setting a high benchmark for quality, durability and consumer protection."

Horsham

<html><body>
Horsham has plenty of room for improvement in 2017, but improvements in the rural season may lead to improvements, according to HTW’s February 2017 update.
The valuation firm says the Horsham residential market is coming off a sluggish 2016, however, above average harvest yields produced this season may instil some confidence back into the region and the property market.
Despite the better rural season, the market is expected to remain slow at the top end with a limited buyer pool in this price range.
"We hope to see an increase in the volume of sales within the owner-occupier market ($300,000 to $400,000)," the report says.
"Local agents are already reporting an increased buyer interest this year in comparison to the same period last year, however we expect prices to remain relatively stable within this price bracket.
"Unit prices are likely to remain stable with interest from both investors and people looking to downsize.
"The rural residential market will again be closely watched with a low volume of sales and high volatility expected."
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-tas-newstead-124658554" target="_blank">4 Brooke Court</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for $479,000.

Green shoots for Horsham residential property market: HTW

Around $500,000 is enough for a riverfront property in Horsham, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property advisory firm says that the rental market has remained steady over the past year.
“The lazy half million would see you purchasing a property towards the top end of Horsham’s residential market in a well sought after location with river frontage or in a less sought after location with ancillary improvements such as a pool and sheds.
“The median house price in Horsham is around $245,000 with approximately 60% of Horsham’s residential sales being within the $200,000 to $400,000 price bracket.
A river front three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-125556034" target="_blank">44 Arnott Street</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for $249,000.
“Overall Horsham’s residential values have remained steady however the volume of sales occurring is slightly lower than this time 12 months ago.
“Horsham’s rental market has remained steady over the past 12 months with a good balance between supply and demand.
“Rentals range from $195 per week for a 2-bedroom unit to $450 per week for a newly constructed 4-bedroom dwelling,” the report stated.
A two bedroom unit at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-unit-vic-horsham-421646882" target="_blank">3/4 Burgess Street</a>, Horsham (below) is available for rent for $185 per week.

Riverfront Horsham residential properties for $500,000

<html><body>
Buying and renovating residential properties have become popular in Horsham, according to Herron Todd White’s latest report.
The property investment firm says that housing affordability is one of the main driving factors.
“The interest in buying and renovating residential properties has been increasingly popular within the Horsham market due to two main driving factors: housing affordability and the increasing popularity of home renovation shows.
“The renovation sector is dominated by owner- occupiers, using this opportunity to enter the property market and slowly develop a house into a home.
“Investors generally do the bare minimum to a property, only making it attractive to prospective tenants.
“The Horsham West area is becoming increasingly popular with buyers, due to its many older style homes that provide an opportunity to be renovated.
“If done to a tradesman like quality, these can achieve greater returns if looking to on-sell.
“While it is an increasingly popular pastime, renovators looking to on-sell a property must always keep in mind the current market conditions and be sure not to over capitalise in order to recoup the cost of the renovation,” the report stated.
A four bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-125679078" target="_blank">233 Blue Ribbons Road</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for between $435,000 to $465,000.

Renovation work in Horsham rising in popularity: HTW

<html><body>
The Horsham market is favourable for first home buyers with relatively affordable options ranging from $100,000 to $500,000, according to HTW’s Month in Review: March 2017. 
The valuation firm says this gives first home buyers the opportunity to enter the residential market at a price point affordable to them.
The report says that developers within the region are also providing house and land deals for first home buyers which reduces the stamp duty that they pay and they receive a $10,000 grant towards their first home.
“A portion of first home buyers within the Horsham region purchase with the intention of renovating the property,” the firms says.
“However some purchases do not take into consideration the extra money and resources required for works to be completed and therefore can’t have the full enjoyment of the property.
“First home buyers are also competing with investors within this sector especially as interest rates are low, increasing the average house price in Horsham and making it harder for some to enter the market.”
A three bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-121422438" target="_blank">3 Davidson Court</a>, Horsham (above) has been listed for $459,000.

Victoria's Horsham city has been perched at the peak of the property cycle for both houses and units for April and May, according to valuation firm Herron Todd White's latest property clock -- a simple broad brush means to suggest where property markets are and what direction prices are moving in.
<a href="/images/2016/05/11/Screen%20Shot%202016-05-11%20at%208.38.42%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

Horsham’s residential real estate market continues to provide a stable investment for both owner-occupiers and investors. The urbanisation of today’s population is bringing senior members of the community to central service hubs such as Horsham and generally increasing the larger centre’s ability to attract and retain the younger generation and continuing its population growth. In turn this brings about expanding outer built up fringe areas and increased prices for inner city property located in close proximity to shops and services.
<a href="/images/2016/05/11/Screen%20Shot%202016-05-11%20at%208.38.53%20AM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

As real estate in inner city Horsham continues to appreciate, more and more buyers are looking for cheaper alternatives. In larger centres such as Ballarat or Melbourne, this would see buyers moving further out of town into the suburbs and becoming more reliant on the local neighbourhood shopping centre. In Horsham, this phenomenon is generally different and sees families moving to smaller nearby town such as Murtoa and Dimboola that are located within a 30-minute drive of Horsham but maintain schools and local shops.
House prices in these smaller towns are significantly lower than Horsham. As an example, Horsham’s current median house price sits at $290,000, while Dimboola’s median house price is a far more affordable $120,000. When weighing up size and affordability, regional towns are definitely an option. 
Property Observer looked up a few recent sales around the median prices for Dimboola and came up with these from www.realestate.com.au:

As Horsham's prices rise, buyers turn to cheaper fringe towns: HTW

<html><body>
The regional city of Horsham in Victoria has slipped from the peak of market position to the start of the decline phase, according to the latest recent Herron Todd White housing clock. 
The valuation firm has issued its latest property clock - a simple broad brush means to suggest where property markets are as at February 2016 - and what direction prices are moving in.
<a href="/images/2016/03/4/Screen%20Shot%202016-03-04%20at%2012.24.22%20PM.png" target="_blank">Click to enlarge</a>

The Horsham residential property market has drawn an outside gate for the start of the 2016 race and will have to work hard to get around the subdued demand and lack of market confidence to get to the fence by the end of the financial year, according to HTW.
The track is likely to be slow, especially at the top end of the market with a limited buyer pool.
Unit values are likely to remain stable due to an oversupply of stock but modern homes in the centre field ($300,000 to $400,000 owner-occupier market) are expected to run a solid race due to maintained strong demand and limited rental stock, says the report.
The volatility of the rural residential market will be closely watched throughout 2016, adds HTW.
The tail end of the field ($100,000 to $200,000) represents longer odds but maintains affordability compared to the centre field.
The median house price in Horsham at the end of 2015 was $237,000 and for units $212,250, according to RP Data.
As an illustration, Property Observer found a three-bedroom house at <a href="https://www.realestate.com.au/property-house-vic-horsham-121788406" target="_blank">52 Francis Street</a> on sale for $240,000 on realestate.com.au.

The value of large modern brick veneer homes have been steadily increasing in value for the last six months, according to Herron Todd White.
Herron Todd White's October Month in Review said the greatest growth has come from four or five bedroom houses on an 800 to 1,200 square metre block around the Wimmera River.
The report said unit sales are limited due to the relative affordability of housing. 
"The recent growth in the upper end price bracket from $400,000 to $600,000 is beginning to impact the mid price range older housing stock from $300,000 to $400,000 and small price movements have been experienced in some sectors of this market in recent times.
"The price movement has seldom reached the lower end price bracket. 
"An example of this top end growth is the sale of a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom modern home on McPherson Street that sold in May 2014 for $450,000 and recently re-sold in June 2015 for $470,000 which displays value growth of 4.4% year on year."
