AreaSearch uses 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 employs the 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. Future population trends indicate that Edensor Park is expected to experience growth just below the national median, with an anticipated increase of 461 persons by 2041 based on the latest annual ERP population numbers. This projection reflects a total increase of approximately 3.0% 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 has averaged approximately 26 new dwelling approvals per year. Between FY-21 and FY-25132 homes were approved, with an additional 12 approved so far in FY-26.

This figure suggests that new supply has likely been keeping pace with demand, offering good choice to buyers. The average expected construction cost value of new homes is $242,000, which is under regional levels, indicating more accessible housing choices for buyers. Relative to Greater Sydney, Edensor Park has around half the rate of new dwelling approvals per person. Nationally, it places among the 42nd percentile of areas assessed, suggesting somewhat limited buyer options while strengthening demand for established properties.

This activity is also lower than nationally, reflecting market maturity and possible development constraints. Recent construction in Edensor Park comprises 95.0% standalone homes and 5.0% 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 315 residents through to 2041, according to the latest AreaSearch quarterly estimate. At current development rates, new housing supply should comfortably meet demand, providing good conditions for buyers and potentially supporting growth beyond current population projections.
