All About Chifley, Randwick, NSW, 2036

Chifley, located in the Randwick local government area of New South Wales, offers a distinctive blend of suburban tranquility and coastal proximity, making it an attractive location for many potential homeowners. The housing market in Chifley features a mix of property types, including freestanding houses, townhouses, and some modern apartments, accommodating various lifestyle preferences and budgets. The area has seen steady interest from buyers due to its relatively more affordable pricing compared to neighboring suburbs like Maroubra and Coogee while still offering access to the same coastal amenities. In recent years, there has been a noticeable uptick in demand, reflecting broader trends in Sydney where suburban and semi-coastal areas gain appeal for their balance of space, community feel, and convenience.

Living in Chifley is characterized by a relaxed, community-focused lifestyle. The suburb is well-served by amenities, including parks, local shops, and schools, making it a suitable area for families. Residents often enjoy the nearby beaches such as Maroubra Beach, which is only a short drive away, providing opportunities for surfing, swimming, and coastal walks. The area maintains a quiet, residential vibe, with tree-lined streets and a strong sense of community, often considered safer and more serene than the bustling inner-city neighborhoods. Additionally, public transport connections and main roads provide convenient access to Sydney's central business district, ensuring that while Chifley offers a peaceful living environment, it is not isolated from the vibrant city life.

Chifley Real Estate Market Outlook

Thinking about buying in Chifley? Now could not be a better time, with 1558 residential properties there's certainly plenty to choose from. The average property price in this area is in the region of $2,685,000 with prices in this suburb ranging from $237,000 to $6,626,000. Chifley is located fairly close to the coast at just 0Km so as well as great views of the ocean and access to beaches, demand and valuations are likely to be a bit higher here.

Good balance between supply and demand ensures a range of affordable options within budget limits. Recent increases in listings may provide buying opportunities. Incomes in Chifley are above average indicating a preference for good quality housing and lifestyle. That ensures consistent price growth. The slightly lower than average earnings from occupations in Chifley changes the housing and lifestyle preference. It is more a matter of what can be afforded rather than what would we prefer, leading to slower price increases over time. Lower than average population density constrains growth in Chifley to an extent. However, where buyers are willing to compromise on housing and lifestyle choice, there are affordable options. Lower than average industry presence in Chifley we believe will be less of a negative impact than it has in the past. Post-COVID and the growth in working from home has lessened the demand for local employment options. This may make Chifley a better buying opportunity than it may have been in the past.
