Property finance in North Shore Sydney

Sydney’s North Shore stretches from North Sydney and Mosman in the lower north to Wahroonga, Turramurra and Pymble on the upper north shore, encompassing some of Sydney’s most prestigious and tightly-held property markets. The region is renowned for its heritage architecture, bushland, top-tier schools and high household incomes.

The North Shore has some of Sydney’s highest household incomes and property values. Long-term owner-occupiers dominate, with many holding multi-million dollar equity positions. SMSF lending is highly active among the 50-plus homeowner cohort, and investment property lending is common among those leveraging equity.
