Sydney’s growth story isn’t over.
According to the Centre for Population, over the next decade, the city is expected to attract the largest share of overseas migrants nationally, with population growth continuing well into the 2030s and beyond – an encouraging backdrop for property investors assessing long-term opportunities.
New South Wales is projected to approach 10 million residents by 2036, with Greater Sydney accounting for a significant share (67%) of that growth.
While overall growth rates are expected to moderate, the scale of population gains continues to support demand for both rental and owner-occupied housing.
For investors, this supports ongoing demand across both rental and purchase markets. Sydney’s relatively young population underpins rental demand near employment hubs, while population growth across regional NSW creates opportunities beyond the capital.
Together, these trends highlight the long-term fundamentals supporting investment property in NSW, where population growth continues to provide a stable base for rental demand and investment confidence.
