AreaSearch is using ABS/Geoscience Australia projections for each SA2 area, released in 2024 with a base year of 2022. For areas not covered by this data, AreaSearch utilises NSW State Government's SA2 level projections, released in 2022 with a base year of 2021. Growth rates by age group from these aggregations are applied to all areas for years 2032 to 2041. Based on the latest population numbers, Edensor Park is expected to increase by approximately 461 persons to 2041, reflecting an increase of 4.4% in total over the 17-year period.

AreaSearch assessment of residential development drivers sees a low level of activity in Edensor Park, placing the area among the bottom 25% of areas assessed nationally

Edensor Park averaged approximately 26 new dwelling approvals per year. Between financial years FY-21 and FY-25132 homes were approved, with an additional 6 approved in FY-26 to date.

The population has been declining recently, suggesting that the new supply has likely kept pace with demand, offering buyers good choices. The average expected construction cost value of new homes is $305,000, which is under regional levels, indicating more accessible housing options for buyers. Compared to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park has approximately half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person. Nationally, it ranks in the 43rd percentile of areas assessed, suggesting somewhat limited buyer options while strengthening demand for established properties.

This activity is lower than the national average, reflecting market maturity and potential development constraints. Recent construction comprises 95% standalone homes and 5% townhouses or apartments, maintaining the area's traditional suburban character with a focus on family homes appealing to those seeking space. With around 397 people per dwelling approval, Edensor Park shows a developed market. Looking ahead, Edensor Park is expected to grow by approximately 450 residents by 2041. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
