Welcome to C J’s e-Newsletter – February 2026
Greetings!
Hard to believe February is just around the corner. It feels like we only just welcomed the New Year, and already we’re stepping into the next month with renewed energy and fresh opportunities ahead.
As Sydney returns to full momentum after the summer break, February traditionally marks the start of one of the strongest periods in the property calendar. With routines back in place and buyer confidence building, now is an ideal time to reassess your position and plan for the year ahead.
Real Estate Insights – February 2026
Market Momentum Builds
February often signals the true start of the selling season in Sydney. Buyer enquiries increase, open homes become busier, and auction activity begins to lift as more properties come to market. In many suburbs, stock levels remain relatively tight, supporting competition for well-presented homes.
Rates Watch: Inflation and Interest Rates
Inflation is easing more slowly than expected, with underlying measures still above the RBA’s target range. Markets are watching the RBA’s February meeting closely, with the possibility of a 0.25% rate increase now in focus. This makes it a sensible time for investors to review cash flow and lending arrangements.
Rental Market Remains Firm
Sydney’s rental market continues to perform strongly, with vacancy rates remaining low across many key suburbs. February is a peak period for tenant movement, making it an ideal time to review rental pricing, minimise vacancy, and secure quality tenants.
What’s Happening in Sydney – February 2026
Lunar New Year Celebrations
Sydney comes alive with Lunar New Year festivities across Chinatown, Darling Harbour, and surrounding precincts, featuring lantern displays, cultural performances, food markets, and fireworks.
Summer Events & Outdoor Entertainment
Warm evenings continue to support outdoor dining, live music, harbour-side events, and night markets across the city.
Weekend Markets & Night Precincts
Local street markets and food precincts remain popular throughout February, offering global cuisine, artisan stalls, and relaxed social experiences.
If you’re considering selling, investing, or reviewing your property strategy for 2026, our experienced team at C J Real Estate is here to provide trusted advice and up-to-date local insights.
For a complimentary property market report or personalised consultation, contact us anytime at 9739 6000.
Wishing you a productive and successful February.
Warm regards,
