Michael's 2026 Arncliffe Market Commentary
“Arncliffe has matured from a 'value pick' into a genuine growth corridor. Houses are now sitting around the $1.79M mark, and units around $784K, with 8.3% annual house growth and 4.1% unit growth to January 2026. Days on market in the low-40s for houses and high-30s for units show a healthy market where good properties still attract strong competition.”
