MARSDEN Park continues to top the NSW buyers’ chart with 200 more sales than its nearest rival during July.

A quarter of all sales across the state’s top 20 postcodes belonged to the 2675 location, highlighting its ongoing dominance – standing at the top of the leaderboard for the past three months.

It’s remarkable to think it was home to fewer than 3,000 dwellings in 2017. But with 10,000 new homes in the planning pipeline, there is clearly room for significantly more growth, especially as authorities see the population growing from 27,700 in 2024 to 38,393 by 2046.

Apart from Maitland and Wyong, the rest of those making up the top 10 are to the north and south-west of Sydney, where buyers are fleeing to escape after being squeezed out of the market by the city’s sky-high prices.

Campbelltown, Campden, and Penrith also keep their place on the sales leaderboard, as a testimony to their value for money and combined marketing budgets of councils and developers.
