悉尼房产市场自1月触及峰值后持续下滑，跌幅达5.3% [1]。其中高端郊区的跌幅尤为显著，北Curl Curl、Malabar和Wheeler Heights等地成为重灾区。北Curl Curl自9月以来下跌19.4%，中位数降至320万澳元 [1]；Malabar从10月高位下跌18.7%至290万澳元 [1]；Wheeler Heights从11月高位下跌17.3%至215万澳元 [1]。相比之下，整个悉尼中位房价在三个月内下跌4%至124万澳元 [1]。
业内人士指出，高价值区域的深度下跌源于购买力的严重制约。Cotality研究主管Gerard Burg表示，高价值地区因买家数量有限而面临更大的跌幅压力 [1]。Belle Property Randwick的Shane Vincent则观察到市场整体下跌在5-10%之间，但部分房产的跌幅已达15% [1]。PK Property Buyer's Agents主任Peter Kelaher进一步指出，North Curl Curl可能继续下跌10%，而700万澳元以上的房产跌幅或超过15% [1]。
Sydney's property market has contracted 5.3% from its peak in January, with high-value suburbs experiencing particularly severe downturns [1]. North Curl Curl has fallen 19.4% since September to a median of AUD 3.28 million, representing a decline of approximately AUD 790,000 [1]. Malabar has dropped 18.7% from its October high to AUD 2.9 million, while Wheeler Heights has declined 17.3% from November peaks to AUD 2.15 million [1]. The broader Sydney median has contracted 4% within three months to AUD 1.24 million [1].
Industry experts attribute the pronounced weakness in premium suburbs to limited buyer demand at higher price points. Gerard Burg, research director at Cotality, observed that "high value areas have fewer buyers, leading to larger price declines" [1]. Shane Vincent of Belle Property Randwick indicated that declines across the market range between 5-10%, with some properties experiencing drops of up to 15% [1]. Peter Kelaher, principal at PK Property Buyer's Agents, cautioned that North Curl Curl may face additional 10% losses, while properties above AUD 7 million could see declines of 15% or higher [1].
